Plot and fit some Simple Data

Once you have a working Colab notebook, here's another example that shows how to plot something, and apply a polynomial fit.

Our data is in a CSV format with two columns: Time and Position

In a tabular format it looks like this.

TimeDistance
0.00.0
1.04.9
2.019.6
......

It's located in a github repo, so that makes it accessible via a url, which you can obtain by clicking the RAW button on the above page.

Git hub raw: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hedbergj/CCNY-PHYS471/main/example-data/free-fall-example-data.csv

Here is the notebook, which you should be able to access:

After working through it, you should be able to obtain a graph that looks like this.

At this point, you would likely then look at the values in your polynomial and see how they matched up with the theoretical expectations.
