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.
