Question

The force applied on a body is directly proportional to the acceleration produced in the body. The linear equation that represent above equation by taking constant as 5, force on y-axis and acceleration on x-axis is​

Answer 1

Answer:

Given that,

Force applied on a body is directly proportional to the acceleration produced in the body.

Constant = 5 units

We know that,

The force applied on a body is directly proportional to the acceleration produced in the body.

We need to write a equation to express the situation

Using given situation

y\propto xy∝x

y=kxy=kx

Where, y = force

x = acceleration

k = constant

Put the value of constant

y=5xy=5x ....(I)

We need to draw a graph of the equation

Using equation (I)

y=5xy=5x

For graph,

If we put x = 0 then y = 0

If , x= 1 then y = 5

Hence, The equation to express the situation is y=5x.

A graph shows in the figure.
