I have to do those questions based on this data
@ganeshie8
I used this website for the graphs http://www.alcula.com/calculators/statistics/scatter-plot/
1,0.485 1,1.036 1,1.569 1,2.127 2,0.485 2,1.041 2,1.574 2,2.127 3,0.484 3,1.041 3,1.574 3,2.128 4,0.483 4,1.041 4,1.572 4,2.127

Honestly, you shouldn't expect someone on here to help with lab work as we were not present during the lab nor have the information. Such as your first question, inclination? Your table does not give that. You should be using excel or such to graph these out yourself, I could do that but that will not help you. Try it yourself.
no I do know the inclination its 10 degree
and I did do the lab :/
i just don't know how to find the slope and compare it
What is the slope of a distance vs time graph
thats what idk how to find but I used the website and plugged in the values that I posted and I got 4 vertical lines
I am asking you, do you know what the slope of a distance vs time graph is?
Slope is the change of y of over x, so \[m = \frac{ y_{2}-y _{1} }{ x _{2}-x _{1} } \]
no I know the formula but wouldn't there be a lot of slopes ?
Ok so let me ask you a simple question, what is the y - axis and x - axis on a distance vs time graph
x axis is the time and y axis is the distance
Good, so the slope is \[\frac{ \Delta d }{ \Delta t }\] what does this give us?
thats where I get lost :/
Look at the units
What are the units for distance and time
1 for x axis and 0.1 for y-axis?
I am asking for the dimensions
It's on your table, look at the titles for the columns
m and s
Yes, now if we look at the slope, what are these units for \[\frac{ m }{ s }\]
average
Those are the units for velocity, if you can recall \[v = \frac{ d }{ t }\]
yes is for average velocity=m/s
You should be able to answer your second question now.
Why or why not? What does the slope of a distance (or displacement) vs. time graph mean?-it means average velocity
