COFFEE | Some students measured the temperature of coffee to see how rapidly it cooled. The coffee temperature is shown as a function of the time. | Decreasing, Concave Up |
HALFLIFE | The decay of the 64Cu isotope as a function of time. | Decreasing, Concave Up |
MEMORY | The average percentage memory loss as a function of time. | Decreasing, Concave Up |
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. | Increasing, Concave Down |
QCKSORT | Average times to sort a list of various lengths using the Quicksort algorithm. | Increasing, Linear |
SHAPE | The volume of a vessel as a function of its height. | Increasing, Sigmoidal |
WARM | The rise in temperature of the earth from the 1860 figure as a function of time since 1900. | Increasing, Concave Down |
WATER | A container was allowed to drain through a small hole in the side. The height of the water was recorded as a function of time. | Decreasing, Concave Up |
