2. Boyle's law - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boyle's_law

   Boyle's law is a gas law, stating that the pressure and volume of a gas have an inverse relationship. If volume increases, then pressure decreases and vice versa, when the temperature is held constant. Therefore, when the volume is halved, the pressure is doubled; and if the volume is doubled, the pressure is halved.

3. Proportionality (mathematics) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proportionality_(mathematics)

   In mathematics, two sequences of numbers, often experimental data, are proportional or directly proportional if their corresponding elements have a constant ratio. The ratio is called coefficient of proportionality (or proportionality constant) and its reciprocal is known as constant of normalization (or normalizing constant).

4. Dependent and independent variables - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dependent_and_independent...

   [6] [7] It is possible to have multiple independent variables or multiple dependent variables. For instance, in multivariable calculus, one often encounters functions of the form z = f(x,y), where z is a dependent variable and x and y are independent variables. [8] Functions with multiple outputs are often referred to as vector-valued functions.

5. Colligative properties - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colligative_properties

   In chemistry, colligative properties are those properties of solutions that depend on the ratio of the number of solute particles to the number of solvent particles in a solution, and not on the nature of the chemical species present. [1] The number ratio can be related to the various units for concentration of a solution such as molarity ...

6. Newton's law of universal gravitation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_law_of_universal...

   The force is proportional to the product of the two masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them: [10] Diagram of two masses attracting one another = where F is the force between the masses; G is the Newtonian constant of gravitation (6.674 × 10 −11 m 3 ⋅kg −1 ⋅s −2);

7. Intensive and extensive properties - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intensive_and_extensive...

   Extensive properties. [edit] An extensive property is a physical quantity whose value is proportional to the size of the systemit describes,[8]or to the quantity of matter in the system. For example, the mass of a sample is an extensive quantity; it depends on the amount of substance. The related intensive quantity is the density which is ...
