Proportional Reasoning
As a directly proportional variable increases the answer will increase by same factor.
As an indirectly proportional variable increases the answer will decrease by the same factor.
If a variable is squared the answer will increase by factor squared.
If a variable is inversely proportional to the square of a variable the answer will decrease by square of factor.

Example a= F/m
If F is doubled a will double
If F is tripled a will triple
If m is doubled, a will be halved.
if m is halved, a will be doubled
4
Example a = F/m
?a = 4F/m ?=4
?a = 3F/m ?=3
?a = F/2m ? = 1/2
?a = F/4m ? = 1/4
?a = F/(1/2m) ? = 2
? a = F/(1/4m) ? = 4
?a = 4F/2m ?=4/2 ?=2
5
Example F = mv2/r
?F = 2mv2/r ? = 2
?F = m(2v)2/r ? = 4
?F = m(3v)2/r ? = 9
?F = 2m(2v)2/r ? = 8
?F = 2m(3v)2/r ? = 18
6
Example G = m/r2
?G = m/(2r)2 ?=1/4
?G = m/(3r)2 ?= 9
?G = m/(4r)2 ?=16
?G = m/(1/2r)2 ? = 1/4
?G = m/(1/3r)2 ? = 1/9
?G = 2m/(1/2r)2 ?=8
?G = 2m/(5r)2 ? =4/25
