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
