The second method involves transforming the nonlinear data into a linear form by means of the logarithm from which we can extract acceleration. We are going to use both methods because it demonstrates the power of mathematics as a data analysis tool.

PART 1 a) Logarithms were invented independently by John Napier‚ a Scotsman‚ and by Joost Burgi‚ a Swiss. Napier’s logarithms were published in 1614; Burgi’s logarithms were published in 1620. The objective of both men was to simplify mathematical calculations. This approach originally arose out of a desire to simplify multiplication and division to the level of addition and subtraction. Of course‚ in this era of the cheap hand calculator‚ this is not necessary anymore but it still serves

planning to study biology in college‚ the process of natural selection explains so much about the modern day life on earth. There is perhaps no phenomenon more wondrous or perplexing than the development of complex life on our planet. Over the countless years of human existence‚ many have attempted to explain just how life came to be. I too have asked how complex life on earth arose‚ and for this answer‚ I turned to science. The process of natural selection is very important to my worldview because

A disaster is a natural or man-made (or technological) hazard resulting in an event of substantial extent causing significant physical damage or destruction‚ loss of life‚ or drastic change to the environment. A disaster can be ostensively defined as any tragic event stemming from events such as earthquakes‚ floods‚ catastrophic accidents‚ fires‚ orexplosions. It is a phenomenon that can cause damage to life and property and destroy the economic‚ social and cultural life of people. In contemporary

Bangladesh has always been considered a natural gas rich country. It is largely available in the eastern part of the country extending from greater Sylhet down to greater Comilla‚ Noakhali and Chittagong. It has also been discovered offshore in the Bay of Bengal. Natural gas plays an important role in the country ’s economy. It is an environment friendly fuel‚ which undergoes clean and odorless combustion. It is widely used as fuel for domestic (cooking and heating)‚ industrial (metallurgical‚ ceramic

The relative importance of genetic drift and natural selection on flower colour in the annual desert plant Linanthus parryae‚ whose dominant blue and recessive white phenotypes are controlled mostly by one gene‚ is debated. Epling and Dobzhansky found that spatial distribution of blue- and white-flowering plants was consistent with genetic drift‚ and Wright found that spatial distribution was consistent with that expected in isolation by distance‚ both supporting the predominant importance of genetic
