How does distance and time affect the speed from object?
Distance and time do not, in general, affect the speed. Speed, however, can affect distance or time. Distance is directly proportional to speed, time is inversely proportional.
What does inversely and directly proportional mean?
Inversely proportional means that one variable goes up while the other goes down. Directly proportional means that both variables increase or decrease at the same time. ex: The volume of a gas at constant pressure is inversely proportional to gas pressure, thus this means that as pressure increases, the volume of the gas will decrease. ex: The volume of a fixed amount of gas is directly proportional to absolute pressure, thus this means that when you heat a gas the volume also increases.
How does time affect average speed when distance is a constant?
Time is inversely proportional to speed.
What is the difference between inertia and acceleration?
Inertia and acceleration both relate to Newton's laws. Acceleration is mentioned in his second law. This law states that acceleration is directly proportional to force and inversely proportional to mass. Inertia on the other hand is the subject of Newton's first law. It states that an object at rest will remain at rest until acted upon by an unbalanced force. In the same manner, and object in motion will remain in motion until acted upon by an unbalanced force. A definition of acceleration: The increase of velocity over a certain time span, usually written as meters/second^2. A definition of inertia: The desire of an object to remain at a constant velocity, or the resistance to acceleration.
How you write inverse proportion?
Two quantities are inversely proportional when one is multiplied or divided by any number, the other is divided or multiplied by the same number. The relation is also commonly denoted as: y ∝ x−1 The graph of two variables that are inversely proportional is a hyperbola. Speed and time are inversely proportional because as the speed increases, the time it takes to reach the destination decreases.
