A: The variables x and y vary directly. When x is 3, y is 6. Find x when y = 2/3.
B: The force acting on an object varies directly with its acceleration. A force of 25
newtons accelerates an object at 1.25 m/s. What is the acceleration of a 35
newton force?
(some steps or extra details would be appreciated; i am very inexperienced with these types of problems)
A. Y/X = 6/3 = 2/1, Y = 2x.
2/3 = 2x, X = 1/2 * 2/3 = 2/6 = 1/3.
B. F = M*a, 25 = M*1.25, M = 28 kg..
F = M*a. 35 = 28*a, a = ?.
