Pressure
Pressure
A measure of the force applied per unit area.
Direct Proportion
Direct Proportion
Direct Proportion occurs when two quantities have a constant ratio. As one quantity increases, the other increases proportionally.
y = kx
y = kx
The formula that connects two quantities in direct proportion. 'k' is the constant of proportionality.

Study Notes
Repeated Percentages
- To increase an amount by 10%, multiply it by 1.10
- To increase an amount by 12%, multiply it by 1.12
- To find the overall percentage increase when increasing by multiple percentages, multiply the individual multipliers
- For example, a 10% increase, then a 12% increase results in a 123.2% overall increase
Compound Percentages
- Compound interest calculates interest on the initial amount plus any accumulated interest.
- Compound depreciation calculates depreciation on the initial amount plus any accumulated depreciation.
- To calculate compound interest or depreciation, multiply the initial amount by the multiplier raised to the power of the number of years.
- For example, if a £50,000 house increases by 10% each year for three years, it will be worth £66,550
Compound Measures - Definitions
- Density: The amount of mass in a volume. Indicates how tightly matter is packed. Measured in g/cm³, kg/m³ or kg/l.
- Speed: The rate of change in distance over time. Measured in m/s, km/h, or mph.
- Pressure: Force applied per unit area. Measured in N/m² or N/cm².
- Fuel consumption: The distance a vehicle travels per unit of fuel volume. Measured in km/l or mpg.
Compound Measures - Formulas
- Speed: Speed = Distance ÷ Time, Time = Distance ÷ Speed, Distance = Speed x Time
- Density: Density = Mass ÷ Volume, Volume = Mass ÷ Density, Mass = Density x Volume
- Pressure: Force = Pressure x Area, Pressure = Force ÷ Area, Area = Force ÷ Pressure
Compound Measures - Converting Measurements
- Units of measurement can be converted using conversion factors. Various conversion examples are provided, such as converting km/h to mph or km/h to km/s, and mph to m/s
Direct Proportion
- Two sets of values have a direct proportion if they have a common multiplier.
- The graph of a direct proportion is a straight line that passes through the origin.
Direct Proportion - Formulas without powers
- If y is directly proportional to x, then y = kx, where k is the constant of proportionality.
- To find the formula for a directly proportional relationship between two variables, find the common multiplier by dividing corresponding pairs of values.
- For example, if x = 6 and y = 18 and they are directly proportional then the equation is y = 3x
Direct Proportion - Formulas with powers
- If y is directly proportional to x³, then y = kx³.
- If y is directly proportional to x², then y = kx².
- Find the constant of proportionality by plugging corresponding values of x and y into the equation.
Inverse Proportion
- Two sets of values have an inverse proportion if one value increases and the other decreases.
- If y is inversely proportional to x, then y = k/x, where k is the constant of proportionality.
- To find the constant of proportionality for an inversely proportional relationship, multiply corresponding values of x and y. e.g y = 100/x if x = 4, y = 25 then 100 = 4 * 25.
