Distinguish between directly proportional and inversely proportional with an example of each

Physics
1 answer:
RideAnS [48]3 years ago

Consider two variables said to be "inversely proportional" to each other. If all other variables are held constant, the magnitude or absolute value of one inversely proportional variable decreases if the other variable increases, while their product (the constant of proportionality k) is always the same.

Why do you have to use a referance point to determine whether or not an object is in motion
SOVA2 [1]
Because there's no such thing as "really" moving.  
ALL motion is always relative to something.

Here's an example:
You're sitting in a comfy cushy seat, reading a book and listening 
to your .mp3 player, and you're getting drowsy.  It's so warm and 
comfortable, your eyes are getting so heavy, finally the book slips 
out of your hand, falls into your lap, and you are fast asleep.

-- Relative to you, the book is not moving at all.
-- Relative to the seat, you are not moving at all.
-- Relative to the wall and the window, the seat is not moving at all. 
-- But your seat is in a passenger airliner.  Relative to people on the 
    ground, you are moving past them at almost 500 miles per hour !
-- Relative to the center of the Earth, the people on the ground are moving
   in a circle at more than 700 miles per hour.   
-- Relative to the center of the Sun, the Earth and everything on it are moving
   in a circle at about 66,700 miles per hour !  

How fast are they REALLY moving ?
There's no such thing.
It all depends on what reference you're using.

goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

Please find the answer in the explanation.

Explanation:

To describe a situation in which you exert a force on something and it does not move, you need to Identify the action force and the reaction force, the relative size of the forces, and the objects they act on.

The magnitude of the static friction between the object and the ground is larger than the magnitude of the force applied.

The object will not move if the magnitude of the static friction is greater than the magnitude of the force applied.

The action force is the force applied while the reaction force is equal to the frictional force between the object and the ground.

F both the mass of the body and the force acting on it are doubled, then acceleration--------------------
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

d. remains same​

Explanation:

Newton's Second Law of Motion states that the acceleration of a physical object is directly proportional to the net force acting on the physical object and inversely proportional to its mass.

Mathematically, it is given by the formula;

Force = mass * acceleration

Acceleration = \frac {Force}{mass}

If both the mass of the body and the force acting on it are doubled, then acceleration remains the same​.

Given the following data;

Mass = 2Mass

Force = 2Force

Substituting into the formula, we have;

Acceleration = \frac {2Force}{2Mass}

Acceleration = \frac {Force}{Mass}
