1. You can tell the difference because the proportional one has the same slope while the inversely one has opposite reciprocal slope.

Which of the three variables that apply to equal amounts of gases are directly proportional Which are inversely proportional?

Directly proportional: pressure and temperature (Boyle's Law and Charles's Law), inversely proportional: volume and pressure (Boyle's Law), volume and temperature (Charles's Law).


What is the difference between directly propotional and inversely proportional?

In directly proportional the two variable vary in the same "direction". So, if one increases, the other increases.In inversely proportional, the two variable vary in opposite "directions". So, if one increases, the other decreases.


What is directly and inversely proportional relationship?

Directly proportional relationship is F=ma, F is directly proportional to a. Inversely proportional relationship is v=r/t, v is inversely proportional to t.


Which gas law is inversely proportional?

The ideal gas law:PV = nRT Any two variables on the SAME SIDE of the equation are inversely proportional. Note that "R" is a constant; so the following are inversely proportional: P and V n and T (And any two variables on OPPOSITE sides are directly proportional.)


What is inversely and directly proportional?

Two variables, X and Y are said to be in inversely proportional is X*Y - k where k is some non-zero constant. X and Y are said to be directly proportional if X = c*Y where c is some constant.


How are current and resistance related are they directly proprtional or inversely proportional?

inversely proportional


When the ratio of two variables is constant their relationship can be described as a inversely proportional b inerdependent c dirctly proportional d parallel?

c, but the word is DIRECTLY, not dirctly!


What 2 variables effect gravity?

The gravitational force between two objects is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers.


A term used to describe the relationship between two variables whose product is constant?

The relationship between two variables whose ration is a constant value is a directly proportional relationship. An example of this is the ideal gas law, PV = nRT. Pressure and volume are directly proportional to the number of molecules of an ideal gas present ad the temperature.


Are speed and distance directly proportional or inversely proportional?

Directly proportional. Greater speed - greater distance.


The statement that current is directly proportional to voltage and inversely proportional to resistance is known as whose law?

The statement current is directly proportional to voltage and inversely proportional to resistance is known as Ohm's Law.


Are force and mass directly proportional or inversely proportional?

Force is directly proportional to mass provided the acceleration is constant.
