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.

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.
Are force and mass directly proportional or inversely proportional?
Force is directly proportional to mass provided the acceleration is constant.
Is accelaration directly proportional or inversely proportional to the force?
Directly. That's why you can't move a car by blowing on it.
Is the volume of a gas directly or inversely proportional to the number of particles in a gas?
Directly proportional, at pressure and temperature constant.
What is an antonym for proportional?
Disproportional.If instead you're looking for the antonym of directly proportional, that would be inversely proportional.
