What? ._.

zepdrix (zepdrix):

Yer gonna make me use more than one word? -_- Ughhhhh fine lolol

OpenStudy (kidrah69):

BWAHAHAHAHA you cracked!!!!

OpenStudy (kidrah69):

XD

zepdrix (zepdrix):

Force `varies directly` with Acceleration. So force is the same as acceleration, \(\Large\rm F=a\) But we have to put another letter in there, we call it a `constant of variation`. \(\Large\rm F=ka\)

zepdrix (zepdrix):

They tell us that when \(\Large\rm F=32\), that our \(\Large\rm a=8\)

OpenStudy (kidrah69):

k=4

OpenStudy (kidrah69):

?

zepdrix (zepdrix):

\[\Large\rm F=ka\]\[\Large\rm 32=k\cdot8\]\[\Large\rm k=4\]Ok good! We'll plug that back into the original equation.

zepdrix (zepdrix):

\[\Large\rm F=ka\]\[\Large\rm F=4a\]

OpenStudy (kidrah69):

f=32 ._.

zepdrix (zepdrix):

whut

OpenStudy (kidrah69):

>_< oops f=16

zepdrix (zepdrix):

?

zepdrix (zepdrix):

So anyway...

OpenStudy (kidrah69):

nvm ._.

zepdrix (zepdrix):

We have our equation with the k value figured out. Now they give us a NEW force value. \(\Large\rm F=12\) We'll plug it in,\[\Large\rm F=4a\]\[\Large\rm 12=4a\]

zepdrix (zepdrix):

And try to figure out what acceleration corresponds to a force of F=12.

zepdrix (zepdrix):

What's your a value here?

OpenStudy (kidrah69):

So we are looking for the a value right? would it be 3?

zepdrix (zepdrix):

Yay! a=3.

zepdrix (zepdrix):

These types of problems are two steps, err really three steps I guess. `Setting up the problem correctly` `Using the first set of information to figure out k` `Using the second set of information to figure out a or F`

OpenStudy (kidrah69):

:/

OpenStudy (kidrah69):

ok...thanks :)

zepdrix (zepdrix):

yay team \c:/

OpenStudy (kidrah69):
