Question from Justene, a parent: My daughter has a physics lab where she must linearize a graph of acc vs. mass. I have no idea how to help her. |
Justene,
To linearize a graph means to draw a line through the data points - or at least as close to them as possible. Just plot the values of mass along one axis and acceleration along the other. Then find the best fitting line through the data.
