How to make a Velocity Time Graph For Data?

AI Thread Summary
To create a Velocity Time Graph from the provided data, the displacement measurements (Y values) must be plotted against time (X values). The data shows a series of time intervals with corresponding distances, but there is inconsistency between the X and Y columns, indicating potential errors in measurement or data entry. It is essential to ensure that the distances are accurately represented to reflect the velocity changes over time. Users are encouraged to double-check the data for accuracy and consider recalculating the velocities if necessary. A properly formatted graph will visually represent the relationship between time and velocity, aiding in the analysis of motion.

My instructor wants us to make a Velocity Time Graph for the data we collected from a Behr Apparatus

We were to measure the displacement of the dots from the 0 point to where each mark was made. I obtained the following. The X column is the distance between each of the dots. The Y column is the distance from 0 to each of the points.

Time (s) x y
0.033 0.45 0.2
0.066 1.51 1.15
0.099 2.59 3.25
0.132 3.62 6.25
0.165 4.85 10.5
0.198 5.96 15.8
0.231 6.81 22.35
0.264 7.92 29.7
0.297 9.13 38.3
0.33 10.09 48.05
0.363 11.25 58.75
0.396 12.51 70.75

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Column x does not seem to be consistent with column y.
 

Thread 'Is calling fictitious forces "not real" just about terminology?'

Hi there, im studying nanoscience at the university in Basel. Today I looked at the topic of intertial and non-inertial reference frames and the existence of fictitious forces. I understand that you call forces real in physics if they appear in interplay. Meaning that a force is real when there is the "actio" partner to the "reactio" partner. If this condition is not satisfied the force is not real. I also understand that if you specifically look at non-inertial reference frames you can...

Thread 'Derivation of Hamilton's Principle: Questions'

I have recently been really interested in the derivation of Hamiltons Principle. On my research I found that with the term ##m \cdot \frac{d}{dt} (\frac{dr}{dt} \cdot \delta r) = 0## (1) one may derivate ##\delta \int (T - V) dt = 0## (2). The derivation itself I understood quiet good, but what I don't understand is where the equation (1) came from, because in my research it was just given and not derived from anywhere. Does anybody know where (1) comes from or why from it the...
