Question 1000367: State whether each of the following represents a direct or inverse variation, and find the constant of variation
Charles law state that the volume, V , of a gas increases proportionally as the temperature in Kelvin, T , increases if the pressure remains constant. At a temperature of 500 K, a given amount of gas occupies 6 m(cubed)

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
It is a direct relationship since both Volume and Temperature very in the same direction (one goes up when the other goes up. ONe goes down when the other goes down).
You are told Charles equation has the form Volume+=+x%2ATemperature
6meter%5E3+=+x%2A500degreeK%7D%7D%0D%0A%7B%7B%7B%286meter%5E3%29%2F%28500degrees+=+x
0.012meter%5E3%2FdegreeK+=+x
