Graphing data
several graph look major like this errors one? in this graph. many can you spot?

So,
it may not be as simple as graphing the exact data that is in the exam question
..but
Lets
Now you are ready to draw the graph There are a few easy things you can do straight away:
(i)
Graphing data
(i) Ask for graph paper (marks deducted otherwise!)
Graphing data
(ii) Title the graph
You can find a very suitable one in the question
Graphing data
(iii) Decide what data will go on each axis As a rule, their top line is your bottom line
Since F is So far on the x axis, lets graph put a on like the looks y this. axis.dont .on forget graph units! paper.. naturally!
F/N
Graphing data
The
next stage is VERY IMPORTANT Lets have another look at the data we now want to plot.start with F
Graphing data
The values for F go from 1.0 up to 7.0. ..so that is straightforward enough
Use as much of your graph sheet as possible but make sure you go at least as far as 8.0ideally up to 10.0
F/N 0 1.0 2.0 3.0 4.0 5.0 6.0 7.0 8.0 9.0 10.0
The values for a go from 5.2 to 36.4..but you MUST start at zero You must go AT LEAST AS FAR as 36.4. Try to use as much of the page as possible, using EQUAL sized divisions Do NOT write the above readings on yr graph!!!!!!!!!
F/N 0 1.0 2.0 3.0 4.0 5.0 6.0 7.0 8.0 9.0 10.0
You
must NEVER..join-the-dots!
Always
pick a best-fit line. If the dots dont form an EXACT straight line, make sure there is the same number of dots on each side of the line
F/N 0 1.0 2.0 3.0 4.0 5.0 6.0 7.0 8.0 9.0 10.0
In summary.
Do it on graph paper Their top line is your bottom line Title the graph and the axes Include units on the axes
If
you make a mistake on your division of axes etc, it is often quicker and neater to start again
