  • 5. Given the data below:
    A 2.2 5.7 12.3 27.1 52.9
    B 1.6 2.0 2.4 2.9 3.4
  • Plot a graph of A versus B with A on the vertical axis. Be sure to include all the elements of as proper graph.
  • Plot a graph of Log A versus Log B.
  • Calculate the equation which relates A and B. Your answer should be in the form:

  • A = kBn


    6. As a fund raiser, physics students cast small solid bronze busts of their principal to sell. One anonymous order came in for a larger version of the bronze bust which would be four times (4x) greater in every linear dimension than the original, smaller version. (ie: four times taller, four times wider, four times deeper)

    How many of the small busts did the students have to melt down to cast one big bust?


    7. Determine the equation which relates velocity (v) and power (p), given the data below, expressed in the form:   v = kpn

    velocity (km/hr) 32 64 96.5 129 161
    power (kW) 0.069 0.55 1.89 4.5 8.76
