VideoPoint: Physics Fundamentals

Graphing Data

  • To graph the data that you have collected, click on the graph icon in the toolbar or choose View->New Graph (Ctrl-G) from the menu bar. The following dialog box will appear.

The Graph Setup Dialog Box.

  • From the left list, choose one value that you want as your horizontal (domain) axis. For this example, choose "Time." You can then choose one or more values in the right list for the vertical (range) axis. For this example, choose "Point s1: Y." This will plot Y vs. Time for the video point series named, "Point s1."

  • Click "Plot" to create the graph. It should look something like this:

A Graph Window shows a plot of Point 1Y (m) vs. Time (s) for a projectile.

  • Repeat the graph process for an X vs. Time plot for Point s1.
