Let’s continue on the assumption that tread thickness and miles driven are linearly related. Find the rate at which the thickness is changing compared to thousand miles driven by comparing change in thickness to number of miles driven in thousands. What does this number describe about a line that can be used to model tread thickness?

- The kinetic energy E of an object varies jointly with the object’s mass m and the square of the object’s velocity v . An object with a mass of 50 kilograms traveling at 16 meters per second has a kinetic energy of 6400 joules. What is the kinetic energy of an object with a mass of 70 kilograms traveling at 20 meters per second?arrow_forwardThe volume of a gas in a container varies inversely as the pressure on the gas. If a container of argon has a volume of 336 cubic inches under a pressure of 2,500 psi, what will be its volume if the pressure is decreased to 2,000 psi?arrow_forwardWhat is the slope of the line on the geoboard shown?arrow_forward
- The resistance of a copper wire carrying an electrical current is directly proportional to its length and inversely proportional to its cross-sectional area. A copper wire with a diameter of 0.0126inch has a resistance of 64.9ohms per thousand feet. What length of 0.0201-inch-diameter copper wire will produce a resistance of 33.5ohms?arrow_forwardWhat does the sign of the slope tell you about line?arrow_forward
