What’s on the Linearising Relationships poster
A 5-row table: Relationship · Plot · Gradient.
How to plot common relationships.
- y = kx² — y against x² — k
- y = k/x — y against 1/x — k
- y = k√x — y against √x — k
- y = ax^n — log y against log x — n
- y = Ae^(kx) — ln y against x — k
A log-log plot reveals the exponent as the gradient. That is how power laws are identified from data.
Questions about the Linearising Relationships poster
- What’s on the Linearising Relationships poster?
- A 5-row table: Relationship · Plot · Gradient. How to plot common relationships. y = kx² — y against x² — k; y = k/x — y against 1/x — k; y = k√x — y against √x — k; y = ax^n — log y against log x — n; y = Ae^(kx) — ln y against x — k. A log-log plot reveals the exponent as the gradient. That is how power laws are identified from data.
- Who is the Linearising Relationships poster for?
- Linearising Relationships belongs to the Physics section rather than to a school year, because physical science is not something one grade owns. Anyone learning methods can pin it up — a beginner, a student mid-course, or someone revising years later.
- When should you use the Linearising Relationships poster?
- Straight lines are easy to judge by eye. Curves are not. A wall chart earns its place by being glanceable from where the work is happening, so Linearising Relationships belongs on the wall where that physical science work actually happens, within glancing distance, rather than filed away.
- What other posters go with Linearising Relationships?
- Accuracy & Precision, Analysing Results and Dimensional Analysis sit alongside Linearising Relationships in the Physics section. Printed together they make a wall rather than a single sheet, which is how a reference set actually gets used.Accuracy & PrecisionAnalysing ResultsDimensional Analysis
- Is the Linearising Relationships poster free to download and print?
- Yes. Linearising Relationships downloads as a free PDF with no account, no email and no watermark, like everything else in the Physics section. Print as many copies as you like for a home, a classroom, a library or a tutoring group; reselling the file is the only thing the licence rules out.Read the licence
- What size does the Linearising Relationships poster print at?
- Linearising Relationships is a vector PDF laid out for US Letter, and prints on A4 with Fit to page — the same file, no separate download. Because every mark on it is drawn rather than photographed, it stays sharp enlarged to A3, A2 or A1 at a copy shop. Colour carries emphasis only, so a greyscale print of Linearising Relationships loses nothing.Printing guide
