K = 8
K is the chemical symbol used to represent potassium. It is usually shown as K+ to indicate that it is positively charged.
K
K can be a variable, it is commonly a variable in the quadratic equation y=a(x-h)2+k K is the y-intercept.
I believe in latin "kilo" means 1000, k is short for kilo.
k is used to represent 1000, from the latin "kilo". However, it is also used to represent 1024 ( = 210) in information technology. So, depending on the context, the answer is 1,000,000 or 1,024,000
In physics, "K" can represent various quantities depending on the context. It is commonly used to represent kinetic energy, the energy an object possesses due to its motion. K can also represent other physical quantities such as a spring constant, wave number, or Boltzmann constant.
