Answer to Question #249418 in Physics for Clea

Question

As a physicist, you are tasked to head the committee that will make a creative and interesting;

(a) a new system of units to describe something that interest you. Your unit should be described using at least two subunits. For example, you can decide to measure the quality of songs using a new unit called song awesomeness. Song awesomeness is measured and by: the number of songs downloaded and the number of times the song was used in movies.

(b) create an equation that shows how to calculate your unit. Then using your equation, create a sample dataset that you could graph. Are your two subunits related linearly, quadratically, or inversely? Your output must be designed to apply scientific reasoning and critical thinking using physics principles.

Answer 1

(a) The new unit is coolity, it is defined as the number of people feeling cold at the Polar station multiplied by the number of times they said "Wow, it's cool!".

(b) The unit (C), number of people N, and the number of times n are connected within the following equation:

$$C=Nn,\\\space\\ n=\frac CN:$$

n is inversely proportional to N.
