Between Kinetic energy and speed: The relationship is quadratic or parabolic. According to the kinetic energy formula, KE = 1/2 mv^2, the kinetic energy is proportional to the square of the speed.

Between potential energy and mass: The relationship is linear. The potential energy is directly proportional to the mass. In simple cases, the potential energy is given by PE = mgh, where mass (m) and height (h) are directly proportional.

Between pressure and volume: The relationship is inverse. According to Boyle's law, the pressure and volume of a gas are inversely proportional when temperature is constant. Mathematically, P1V1 = P2V2.

Between pressure and temperature: The relationship is linear. According to Charles's law, the pressure and temperature of a gas are directly proportional when volume is constant. Mathematically, P1/T1 = P2/T2.

Between displacement and velocity: The relationship is linear. Velocity is the rate of change of displacement with respect to time, so the two are directly proportional.
