Write an Equation That Expresses the Relationship $\frac { 2 } { 5 }$

question 316

Multiple Choice

Write an equation that expresses the relationship. Use k as the constant of variation.
-If the force acting on an object stays the same, then the acceleration of the object is inversely proportional to its mass. If an object with a mass of 15 kilograms accelerates at a rate of 2 meters per second per second by a force, find the rate of acceleration of an object with a mass of 3 kilograms that is pulled by the same force.

• A) 10 meters per second per second
• B) \(\frac { 2 } { 5 }\) meters per second per second
• C) 8 meters per second per second
• D) 5 meters per second per second

Cones

Photoreceptor cells in the retina of the eye that are responsible for color vision and function best in relatively bright light.

Rods

Photoreceptor cells in the retina of the eye that function in low light and provide black-and-white vision.

Astigmatism

Astigmatism is a common vision condition caused by an irregularly shaped cornea or lens, leading to blurred or distorted vision.
