I was wondering if someone that knows how to make charts could do this for me? I want to plot my timeslip in a chart, distance vs time. For distance the values are 0, 60ft, 330ft, 660ft, 1000ft, 1320ft. The time values are 0 to 17 seconds. My ET's for distance is 0, 2.349, 6.741, 10.393, 13.575, 16.312. If I remember my algerbra once you have distance and time you can find velocity. Basically I know my car did 0-68 in 10.39 seconds, however I want to find my 0-60 time and maybe the distance it takes to get to 60mph. I figured someone would be bored as hell and wouldn't mind helping out .

With only 6 data points, you're not going to be able to get really good accuracy, so this is just a rough estimate...

Distance (in miles) vs time

Velocity (in mi/hr) vs time
