PROBLEM: In later life this mythological figure left Argos and arrived after some journeys in southern Italy, where he supposedly founded several cities. The son of Tydeus and Deipyle, this man was one of the Epigoni before going to Troy, where he nearly killed Aeneas in combat, killed both Rhesus and Dolon, helped smuggle the Palladium out of Troy, and even managed to wound the god Ares in battle.

For 10 points, name this profession that got the majority of its members from the ships it robbed, and whose captains included Blackbeard and whose ships flew the Jolly Roger.

SOLUTION: History

PROBLEM: The electronic contribution to heat capacity varies with this power of temperature. The Lorentz gamma is raised to this power in the expression for relativistic momentum in terms of velocity. A substance's magnetization is proportional to this power of the H-field strength. The electric potential due to an infinite sheet of charge varies with this power of the distance from the sheet. Electrical resistance varies with this power of a resistor's length, and the gravitational force on an object is proportional to this power of its mass. For 10 points, identify this power, which relates two quantities that are linearly proportional.

SOLUTION:
Science
