JAMB 2017 - Question 21
Mathematics 2017 JAMB Past Questions - Question 21: if temperature t is directly propotional to heat h, and when t = 20 degree h = 50J, when h = 60J.
A:
B:
C:
D:
Correct Answer
A
Explanation
If temperature (t) is directly proportional to heat (h), we can use the formula t = kh, where k is the constant of proportionality.Given that when t = 20 degrees, h = 50J, we can find the value of k:20 = k * 50k = 20 / 50k = 0.4Now that we have the value of k, we can use it to find the temperature when h = 60J:t = 0.4 * 60t = 24So, when h = 60J, the temperature (t) is 24 degrees.
