CYNTHIA | Cynthia's approximate height from age 1 to age 12. |
JUDGE2 | A subject was shown a 400 sq cm square and advised that its area was assigned the number 20 units as area. The subject was then given various numbers and asked to draw a squares with those numbers as the area when compared to the 20 units area. This shows the result of such an experiment. |
MENTEN | The results of an experiment from biochemical enzyme kinetics involving glucose-6-phosphatase. |
PORSCHE | The velocity of an accelerating Porsche 944 Turbo as a function of time. |
PROBE | A student held a temperature probe firmly between her thumb and forefinger while the temperature of the probe was recorded. This shows the temperature as a function of the time. |
PUPILS1 | This shows the result of an experiment in which 10 subjects were briefly exposed to a bright light, causing their pupils to dilate, and then the diameter of each pupil was measured every 0.5 seconds as the pupil expanded. |
RUBBER | The results of an experiment where various known forces are applied to an unstretched rubber band and its stretched length is measured. |
SMS | A spring-mass-spring system with various masses was allowed to oscillate with no friction or gravity. This shows the period in of the oscillations as a function of the mass. |
STURGEON | A biologist measured the length of a sturgeon over a 21 year period. This shows the length in centimeters as a function of the time in years. |
TAPE | Conduct the following experiment using either a VCR or a tape deck equipped with a digital tape-counter. Put a tape in the unit, set the tapecounter to zero, and, as you start the tape playing, note the time. Then record the time every 5 to 10 minutes along with the number on the tapecounter. This data set was obtained in this way. It shows the number of revolutions - the number on the tapecounter - as a function of time in seconds. |
WARM | The rise in temperature of the earth from the 1860 figure as a function of time since 1900. |
WET | The movement of the wetting front as a function of time. |
