Linearizing a GraphIf a graph from a lab does not show a linear relationship, you will have to make a modification to the data to linearize the graph.

The graph of y vs x is an upward opening parabola, so the graph will show y vs x^2.
Please note how the first column and the x-axis are labeled.

Before doing anything else, come up with the equation for the linearized graph.
Start by drawing a trend line and finding its slope.
mm=1(m/s^2)

Next, find the y-intercept. Start with the general form y=mx+b.
In this case, y is Pos, x is t^2, and m is 1 m/s^2.
Choose one point on the line and use its x- and y-values with the slope you already found.Y = mx + bPos = m t^2 + bUsing the point (25s^2, 25m),25 = 1 *25 + bb=0

Now we have everything we need to finish the graph.
Math Model: (the equation for your line)Pos = 1(m/s^2) t^2
Written Relationship: Position is proportional to the square of time.
(found on the handout that goes on the inside of the front cover of your lab notebook)
***The written relationship does not change just because the graph has been linearized.***

Physical meaning of slope:The general form is: As x increases by 1 (x-unit), y increases by m (y-units).
In this case, As time squared increases by 1 second squared, position increases by 1 meter.

Written relationship: Position is proportional to the square of time.
Physical Meaning of Slope: As time squared increases by 1 s^2, position increases by 1m.
Math model:X=1(m/s^2) t^2

Meaning of Y-Intercept
When x is 0, y is b.
From the example, b=0.
When time^2 is 0, position is 0.
