\n" ); document.write( "The power, \"P\" (watts), of a car engine is proportional to the \"square\" of its speed, \"k%28m%2Fs%29\"; it means if you have two different powers and speeds, you will have a proportion\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"P%3Ak%5E2=P%5B1%5D%3Ak%5B1%5D%5E2\" or\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"P%2Fk%5E2=P%5B1%5D%2Fk%5B1%5D%5E2\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "When given:
\n" ); document.write( " \"k=35\", \"P=2200\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Work out the power \"P%5B1%5D\" (to 1DP) when the speed is \"k%5B1%5D=40%28m%2Fs%29\" \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so,\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"P=2200\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"k=35\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"k%5B1%5D=40\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "and you need \"P%5B1%5D\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"2200%2F35%5E2=P%5B1%5D%2F40%5E2\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"2200%2F1225=P%5B1%5D%2F1600\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"1.79592=P%5B1%5D%2F1600\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"1.79592%2A1600=P%5B1%5D\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"P%5B1%5D=2873.5\" watts\r
