A spreadsheet can have only a single x-axis. In this laboratory we want to plot multiple lines on a single xy scattergraph with each line being a different ball velocity. There is a data table layout that permits the graphing of multiple lines on a single xy scattergraph. This layout puts the x-values in the first column and each set of y-data in columns arranged in a "diagonal" fashion as seen below.
time (s) [x] | Distance: Stationary (cm) [y1] |
Distance: Slow (cm) [y2] |
Distance: Fast (cm) [y3] |
