Figure 13.17 showed a graph of log T versus log r for the planetary data given in Table 13.2. Such a graph is called a log-log graph.
The scales in Figure 13.17 are logarithmic, not linear, meaning
that each division along the axis corresponds to a factor of 10
increase in the value. Strictly speaking, the “correct” labels on the
y-axis should be 7, 8, 9, and 10 because these are the logarithms of

.
a. Consider two quantities u and v that are related by the expression
v p = Cuq
, where C is a constant. The exponents p and q are
not necessarily integers. Define x = log u and y = log v. Find
an expression for y in terms of x.
b. What shape will a graph of y versus x have? Explain.
c. What slope will a graph of y versus x have? Explain.
d. Use the experimentally determined “best-fit” line in Figure 13.17
to find the mass of the sun.

Jason and mia are both running in a race. as they approach the finish line, you being the physicist that you are decide to time how long it takes them to reach the end of the race. when you start your stop watch (you can take this as time t = 0 s) you notice that mia is an unknown distance d ahead of jason and both are moving with the same initial velocity v_0. you also notice that jason is accelerating at a constant rate of a_j, while mia is deaccelerating at a constant rate of -a_m. jason and mia meet each other for the first time at time t = t_1. at this time (t = t_1) jason's velocity is two times that of mia's velocity, meaning v_j (t_1) = 2v_m (t_1). a) draw the position vs. time graph describing mia's and jason's motion from time t = 0 to time t = t_1. clearly label your axes and initial conditions on your graph. b) draw the velocity vs. time graph describing mia and jason's motion from time t = 0s to time t = t_1. clearly label your axes and initial conditions on your graph. c) how long from when the stop watch was started at t = 0s did it take mia and jason to meet? express your answer in terms of know quantities v_0, a_m, and a_j. d) when the stop watch started at time t = 0s, how far apart, d, were mia and jason? express your answer in terms of know quantities v_0, a_m, and a_j.

15. give an example for some particles or waves that are moving faster than light in everyday life 16. what is a laser? 17. what is an oscilloscope? 18. what does it means practically that nothing is faster than light in vacuum? 19. what is vacuum?

Two polarizers are oriented at 24.0∘ to one another. light polarized at a 12.0-degree angle to each polarizer passes through both. what is the transmitted intensity (%)?
