What does a variable scale look like?
A variable scale uses a set of adjustable accordion-like compasses to compute the distances between points on a map or diagram.
What are some common logarithmic scales?
The Decibal scale for sound measurement is an example of a logarithmic scale. The Richter scale, the pH scale, the magnitude scale for stars, the multiplicative scales on a slide rule
What is more acidic 3 or 6?
A solution with a pH of 3 is more acidic than a solution with a pH of 6. The pH scale measures the concentration of hydrogen ions in a solution, with lower pH values indicating higher acidity. Each unit change in pH represents a tenfold difference in hydrogen ion concentration, so a solution with a pH of 3 has 1000 times more hydrogen ions than a solution with a pH of 6.
What is the difference between a linear scale and a nonlinear scale?
A linear scale is much more simple to use and provides accurate readings it also works faster than the non-linear scale . This scale does not take much work and has equal divisions. In a linear scale, there is an equal amount between each mark; this is the normal kind of scale that is used in most everyday graphs/charts. In a non-linear scale, the difference between each mark is not the same, for example each mark, although the same distance apart on the paper, represents twice the value of the previous mark. Two examples which are met regularly are logarithmic in nature: pH (acid/alkali scale - eg pH balanced shampoo) and dB (deci-Bel - relative loudness of sounds).
What is bar scale?
A bar scale is like a ruler or measuring tape. It can measure long distances.
