Calibration Curves: Linear Least Squares01:20

Calibration Curves: Linear Least Squares

A calibration curve is a plot of the instrument's response against a series of known concentrations of a substance. This curve is used to set the instrument response levels, using the substance and its concentrations as standards. Alternatively, or additionally, an equation is fitted to the calibration curve plot and subsequently used to calculate the unknown concentrations of other samples reliably.
For data that follow a straight line, the standard method for fitting is the linear...

Curves Defined by Parametric Equations

A baseball hit into the air follows a parabolic trajectory when air resistance is neglected. The motion can be described within a two-dimensional coordinate system, where both the horizontal displacement and vertical height are functions of time. Instead of expressing the trajectory as a single function of position, the motion is modeled using parametric equations: one function for the horizontal position and another for the vertical position as time progresses. Let the horizontal position be...

Modeling with Differential Equations

Population dynamics can be described mathematically by considering the population size P(t) as a function of time. The rate of change of the population is then represented by the derivative of P(t). A simple assumption is that the rate of growth is proportional to the size of the population itself. This leads to an exponential growth model, where the population increases rapidly without bound. While this is a useful first approximation, it does not reflect realistic long-term...

Heating and Cooling Curves

When a substance—isolated from its environment—is subjected to heat changes, corresponding changes in temperature and phase of the substance is observed; this is graphically represented by heating and cooling curves.
For instance, the addition of heat raises the temperature of a solid; the amount of heat absorbed depends on the heat capacity of the solid (q = mcsolidΔT). According to thermochemistry, the relation between the amount of heat absorbed or released by a substance, q, and its...

Linear Differential Equations

The integrating factor method provides a systematic way to solve first-order linear differential equations, especially those that cannot be handled by separation of variables. This method is particularly useful in modeling time-dependent physical systems influenced by both constant inputs and resistive forces. A common example is the motion of a car subjected to a constant engine force while experiencing air resistance proportional to its velocity.In such scenarios, Newton’s second law yields a...
Curve Equations01:17

Curve Equations

Curves are essential geometric elements characterized by tangent distance, chord length, middle ordinate, and total arc length. These measurements are crucial in understanding a curve's geometric and spatial properties and are defined by the relationship between its radius and its central angle.The tangent distance (T) refers to the straight-line measurement from the intersection point of two tangents to either the start or end of the curve. This distance is influenced by the curve's radius (R)...
