It depends on which variables, exactly, are given as being proportional.

For example, the mass of a cube of any substance is directly proportional to the cube of the length of its sides.

m = ds3 where

The relationship between m and s3 is linear, but that between m and s is not: it is cubic.

Do all linear equations need to be proportional?

No.A directly proportional graph has an equation of the form y = mx. It always passes through the origin.A linear graph will have an equation in the from y = mx + c. This has a y-intercept at (0, c). It doesn't pass through the origin unless c = 0. The directly proportional graph is a special case of a linear graph.

What is the relationship between the angular acceleration formula and linear acceleration in rotational motion?

The angular acceleration formula is related to linear acceleration in rotational motion through the equation a r, where a is linear acceleration, r is the radius of rotation, and is angular acceleration. This equation shows that linear acceleration is directly proportional to the radius of rotation and angular acceleration.


How is angular acceleration related to linear acceleration in a rotating object?

Angular acceleration and linear acceleration are related in a rotating object through the equation a r, where a is linear acceleration, r is the radius of the object, and is the angular acceleration. This equation shows that the linear acceleration of a point on a rotating object is directly proportional to the angular acceleration and the distance from the center of rotation.
