Is density exponentially proportional to volume or inversely?

Physics

An exponential relationship takes the form y = k(a^x), where a and b are constants. Often the value of a turns out to be Euler's number, e = 2.718281828..., because it has the special property that d/dx(e^x) = e^x. Exponential growth might model how the population of a bacterium which divides every 5 seconds increases, and exponential decay might model how the mass of a radioactive isotope sample decreases with time.

Inverse proportion takes the form

An inverse proportion takes the form y = k/x, for a constant k. This kind of relationship might model how the time taken to complete a job varies as the number of workers varies, for example.

We know the formula for density is mass over volume (d = m/v). We therefore see that when mass is considered an arbitrary constant, substitute y = d, k = m and x = v, and we have our inverse proportion.

Intuitively this makes sense. Double the volume for the same mass and the density halves. Quarter the volume for the same mass and the density quadruples.

I hope this helps you :)

If the earth’s tilt on it axis were to increase by 20 degrees, what would happen to earth?
Triss [41]

Each pole would become tropical during summer, but be horribly cold during winter, far colder than they are now. But the equator would be in perpetual twilight during two seasons—and summer the opposing two.

How is oxygen purified?
xxTIMURxx [149]
Oxygen is obtained on a commercial scale through the liquefaction and distillation of ambient air at air separation plants. A secondpurification process may be necessary if ultra-high purity levels are required. High-purity oxygen can also be produced through the electrolysis of water.

Newton’s ideas on physics “won”, and aristotle’s ideas were kicked out of science and over into history. why?
mestny [16]
Basically, Newton's ideas matched up better with experiments and observations about the natural world than Aristotle's did. Newton gave a rigorous mathematical framework that made very specific predictions about our world, while Aristotle in general made more comparative laws, that even when true were less useful than the certainty Newton's laws gave us. Many of Newton's laws have been found to be at least partially incorrect now, for instance his laws of motion fall apart at speed nearing the speed of light, his laws of gravity fall apart when talking about more than two objects and in the presence of large gravitational fields that are close together, and Newton's law of cooling is just untrue in general (though can make some approximations in narrow temperature ranges).

What are the units of mass and weight
DENIUS [597]

Answer:Because mass and weight are separate quantities, they have different units of measure. In the International System of Units (SI), the kilogram is the basic unit of mass, and the newton is the basic unit of force. The non-SI kilogram-force is also a unit of force typically used in the measure of weight.

3. Do you think Lynn’s (the protagonist)actions were justifiable by her motives? Why or why not? Please help me Bad Genius the m
nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

I do believe her actions were justified.

Explanation:

Due to the school charging extra fee from her father who makes a modest amount as a teacher. There was sum of money involved that could change how he lived and her.

I do not believe her actions where justified

She had a lot going for her. She could have skipped the hardship of helping grace and pass. She could have easily have gotten a good job with a degree and paid back all the debts owed. Alot of troubles could have been avoided just by doing her own thing.
