What will happened to the ke if its velocity is reduced by 12 times?

Kinetic energy is proportional to the square of the speed. If you reduce the speed by a factor of 12, the kinetic energy will reduce by a factor of 12 x 12 = 144.Kinetic energy is proportional to the square of the speed. If you reduce the speed by a factor of 12, the kinetic energy will reduce by a factor of 12 x 12 = 144.Kinetic energy is proportional to the square of the speed.

What is the difference between proportional and non proportional relationship?

In mathematics, or physics, if one quantity is proportional to the other, that means that if one quantity increases by a certain factor, the other quantity increases by the same factor. For example, if"y" is proportional to "x", and "x" increases by a factor 10, then "y" must also increase by a factor 10. Any relationaship that does NOT follow this rule is NOT proportional.


By what scale factor would you reduce a drawing 4.5 inches high to fit a newspaper ad 3 inches high?

Let the scale factor be x. 4.5 [in] * x = 3 [in] x = 3 / 4.5 = 1 / 1.5. Your drawing has to be reduced by a factor of 1.5 to fit to the ad. ===================


What does it mean for x and y to vary directly?
