F varies directly as g and inversely as r^2
Givens and assumptions
- We take a constant of variation called k.
- Varies directly means we multiply our variable term by k
- Varies inversely means we divide k by our variable term
The phrase varies directly or varies inversely means we have a constant k such that:
F = kg/r^2
