The acceleration of a car is proportional tot he hoirsepower of the engine and inversely proportional tot he weight of the passengers
A)Show this relationship as an equation
a = kh/w
-----------------
B)What ahppens to the acceleration of the car if the horsepower of the engine is tripled?
3a = k(3h)/w
----------------------
C)What happens to the acceleration of the car if the weight inside is tripled?
a/3 = kh/(3w)
----------------------
