Log scale Definition and 12 Threads

In another thread the concept of how many seconds in a year came up and it made me think of putting milestones of a human lifetime on a log scale. Units are seconds. Please feel free to amend or change or just make it better. Maybe an actual plot? What strikes me is most of life is in the last...

Homework Statement Homework EquationsThe Attempt at a Solution I have been trying to rearrange the equation to look something like ln(y) = Aln(x) but to no avail. Something tells me that that's not necessarily the right way to approach the problem, could anyone point out what I should be...

I am trying to calculate and draw a relation between (IL) and the Growth rate (m). I have used Il as range from 10^15 to 10^18 in the calculation and when I draw the relation (x-axis ) is Il and (y-axis ) is m. I converted the IL to be in log scale. I noticed unacceptable output. So, I am...

Hi everybody, Looking forward to be part of this community! A biologist here trying to become more math savvy and willing to help others too.Thanks,

Homework Statement Lets say we have a series of balls and an eggs. All items have equal mass but are traveling at different velocities. Thus they have differing kinetic energies. Now, for each 'ball' object we have, we want to find an egg object with a similar kinetic energy. Let's say...

Homework Statement Homework Equations ω=ω0+αt θ=θ0+ω0t+12αt2 I think? The Attempt at a Solution For part a, I know that from the graph, the angular velocity in this case would be constant since the graph illustrates a position in rad vs time graph. The thing is, I'm really sure on how to...

My math is a little weak, so I'm having a hard time finding the elastic and plastic regions on this curve. Any further help will also be appreciated!

Homework Statement Hi guys, I'm stuck on this question in exam revision: I need to estimate the area under the following curves (I don't have the equations of the curves) http://img819.imageshack.us/img819/3249/question.jpg The curves are magnitude diagrams in the log-log scale...

Hello! If I have the gaussian function, but x is a loarithmic scale. Can I infer that, if x was plotted using a regualr scale, that the function would be 'fairly' linear? At least initially? As the rate of change gradually increases befor slowing down again. I think this is reasonable... I...

Hi I have to perform a fitting procedure on a semi logarithmic scale but I'm not sure how to weigh the experimental data points. I'm studying the decay of the luminescence of a certain type of crystals and the function I'm using has the form I = \frac{1}{\tau} e^{-\frac{t}{\tau}}...

Hello, I have been trying to make a parametric plot with logarithmic axes in Mathematica, but have been unable to find an option to do this. Can someone tell me how to do this? My code is below, and for reference, EnergyScint[b] is the Bethe-Bloch equation for energy deposit for a fully...

double log scale - please help I am trying to find/create the equation for a straight line on a double logarithmic scale graph - what is the format of the equation or how do I do this using data points from the graph.
