5) Use the graph paper given to plot the following points.

Time
(sec)
Velocity
(cm/sec)
0 0
3 6.60
6 12.30
9 18.00
12 22.80
15 30.60
18 37.50

a) Work in pencil only. 2 points

b) Neatly draw the x and y axis using a RULER like we did in the example plot.
- 2 points

c) Mark off every 10 small boxes on the y axis like we did in the example plot.
    - 2 points

d)  Mark off every 5 small boxes on the x axis like we did in the example plot.
    - 2 points

e) Number the x and y axis so that your graph will be as large as possible  - 8 pts

f) Label the x and y axis using the variables and units from the table (time is the independent variable, x axis) 4 points

g) Name the plot Velocity vs Time for a Car Moving Down a Ramp  - 3 pts

h) Plot the data - 10 points

i) Circle all your data points like we did in the example plot - 2 pts

j)  Do not draw a line or curve through the points. We will do this later  - 4 points
