Can the formula F=ma be a direct variation equation? If so, which variable would have to be held constant?

1 answer:

6 0

Yes it can be a direct variation. it follows the form y = kx
The only variable that cannot be held constant is F, but we can hold the mass constant and vary the acceleration OR we can hold the acceleration constant and vary the mass. Either one would work, but the easiest would be to vary the mass and hold the acceleration constant since we are all pulled by the same action gravity

A traveler is walking on a moving walkway in an airport The Traveler must walk back on the walkway to get a bag he forgot the Tr

hichkok12 [17]

Let the speed off the walk way be x and speed of the walkway be y
x+y=6....i
x-y=2....ii
adding the above equation we get:
2x=8
thus
x=4 ft/s
and
y=6-4=2 ft/s
thus the speed off the walk way is 4 ft/s
the speed of the moving walkway is 2 ft/s
