If temperature t is directly proportional to heat h, and when t = 20oC, h = 50 J, find t when h = 60J
  • A.
    24oC
  • B.
    20oC
  • C.
    34oC
  • D.
    30oC
Correct Answer: Option A
Explanation

t ∝ h, t = 20, h
t = ? h = 60
t = kh where k is constant
20 = 50k
k = (frac{20}{50})
k = (frac{2}{5})
when h = 60, t = ?
t = (frac{2}{5}) × 60
t = 24oC
