In mathematics and physics, the letter "k" is often used to represent a constant because it is derived from the German word "konstante." This convention helps distinguish constants from other variables, particularly when multiple constants are involved. Additionally, using "k" can help avoid confusion with the variable "c," which is commonly used to represent the speed of light in physics.

Why do we use k for constant of proportionality?
You can basically use any letter for a constant. "c" is often used because it's the first letter of "constant"; the use of "k" probably arises either from the fact that it has the same sound, in English, as "k"; or from other languages where the word "constant" is written with a "k" (e.g., "Konstante" in German).
Exactly 5.00 L of air at -50.0 C is warmed to 100.0 C What is the new volume if the pressure remains constant?
Vol = k*Temp where k is a constant. Vol2 = Vol1*T2/T1 = 5.00*373/223 = 8.36 litres, approx.
What is the value for Coulombs constant k?

T varies directly as r and inversely as s t equals 2 when are equals 26 and s equals 78?
(direct variation) t = kr, where k is any constant, and it is called the constant of the variation.t = 2 when r = 26t = kr2 = k(26) (divide by 26 to both sides)2/26 = kk = 1/13(indirect variation) t = c/s, where c is any constant, and it is called the constant of the variation.t = 2 when s = 26t = c/s2 = c/78 (multiply by 78 to both sides)156 = c
A varies directly as b and inversely as c?
A = k (b/c)'k' is some constant number.
What is the symbol for the equilibrium constant?
The symbol for the equilibrium constant is K.

What is a pointless letter?
C, which has either an S or a K sound when it is used in words. So there is no need for a C when an S or a K could be used instead.
What is the antiderivative squared 0 9X18 squared X 17 X 18?
Let k = 0 9x18 squared x 17 x 18 k is a constant. Its anti-derivative is kx + C, where C is a constant. The anti-derivative squared is (kx+ C) squared.
Translate C varies jointly a d and the cube of e and inversely as the square root of m?
C = k*a*d*e^3/sqrt(m) where k is a constant.
What is a constant ratio of two variables related proportionally?
The constant of proportionality pi = 3.141592.... is a constant of proportionality for all circles. 'C' is directly proportional to 'd' Equating C = kd k = C/d This is found to be true for all circles, however, large or small. The 'C' and 'd' are the variables.
What is the integral of 1 over c to the power of 1 minus x?
use this strategy: integral of (b^x) dx = (b^x)/ln(b) + K [K is integration constant, b is not a variable]rewrite (1/c)^(1-x) = ((1/c)^1)*((1/c)^(-x)) = (1/c)*(c^x). (1/c) is a constant, so bring outside the integral, then let b = c in the formula above, and you have (1/c)*(c^x)/ln(c) + K
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.
