Dispersion Diagrams: Guide to Reading & Creating

Click For Summary
Dispersion diagrams visually represent the relationship between variables, often used in fields like physics and engineering. To read them, one must understand the axes, which typically denote frequency and wavelength or energy levels. Creating a dispersion diagram involves plotting data points based on the specific relationship being analyzed, ensuring clarity in labeling and scaling. Resources such as textbooks, online tutorials, and software tools can aid in both understanding and creating these diagrams. Mastering dispersion diagrams enhances analytical skills in various scientific disciplines.

Thread 'Does acceleration affect impact energy vs constant velocity?'

I do not have a good working knowledge of physics yet. I tried to piece this together but after researching this, I couldn’t figure out the correct laws of physics to combine to develop a formula to answer this question. Ex. 1 - A moving object impacts a static object at a constant velocity. Ex. 2 - A moving object impacts a static object at the same velocity but is accelerating at the moment of impact. Assuming the mass of the objects is the same and the velocity at the moment of impact...
