How does proportional change in the dimensions affect the area of a figure?

If the new linear dimensions are k times the old dimensions, then the new area is k2 times the old area.


When both dimensions of a figure are changed using the same scale factor is the change proportional or non proportional?

If it is a 2-dimensional figure then it is proportional.


What is strain in physics?

Strain is the change in dimensions per unit original dimensions. For example, if your stretch a 100 cm long wire by 5 cm, Strain = 5/100 = 0.05


How does proportional change in the dimensions affect the perimeter of a figure?

If you are asking how the perimeter of an object changes if the whole object is proportionally changed: The perimeter changes by the same factor as the change in proportion of the whole object. For example: given a square that is 2 units by 2 units, changed by a factor of four, the new size would be 8 units by 8 units. The original perimeter was 2+2+2+2=8. The new perimeter is 8+8+8+8=32. So, multiplying the original perimeter, 8, by the factor of proportional change, 4, we get 8x4=32. For any object, multiply the original perimeter by the factor of proportional change to arrive at the new perimeter.


Why is it capacitance does not affect current in a Direct Current circuit?

Capacitors resist a change in voltage, proportional to current and inversely proportional to capacitance. In a DC circuit, the voltage is not changing. Therefore, after equilibrium is reached, there is no current flowing through the capacitor.


How do the area and perimeter of the area of a figure change when it's dimensions change?

The answer depends entirely on how the dimensions change. It is possible to change the dimensions without changing the perimeter. It is also possible to change the dimensions without changing the area. (And it is possible to change the area without changing the perimeter.)


Does a figure change its dimensions when translated?

No but if it is enlarged its dimensions are changed


Does the mass of an object change as the distance from the center of gravity changes?

Mass doesn't change. Mass the is substance of an object, moving it around won't affect how much mass it has, only adding or subtracting from the object would affect the quantity of mass. The weight would change because gravity is inversely proportional to distance but not the mass.


All dimensions are reduced or enlarged using the same?

when reducing or enlarging the dimensions you obviously have to change the dimensions. but do not change the ratio of the vaules. also do not cahnge the unit of the values.
