Problema Solution
assume that J varies inversely with v. If J=90 when v=5 find J when v=45
Answer provided by our tutors
J varies inversely with v (or "J and v are inversely proportional") if there is a constant k such that
J = k/v
First we will find the constant k
J = 90 when v = 9 means
90 = k/9
k = 90*9
k = 810
now we know the equation for J and v
J = 810/v
when v = 45 for J we have
J = 810/45
J = 18.
