How can you use the position-time graphs for two in-line skaters to determine if and when one in-line skater will pass the other

one?

Explanation:

Position-time graphs measure/express the position of a skater over time relative to the start or finish of the race (depends on how it is used). Note: are the skaters in line vertically or horizontally? Like is one directly behind the other or are they next to each other?

If the two skaters are in line horizontally with each other, then their position will be the same relative to the start or finish of the race. This means if one passes the other one, the position would be different for all times after they pass. On the graph, it would look like one single line at the start (as position is same) which splits into 2 (representing the new difference in position due to 1 passing the other.

If the two skaters are in line vertically, their lines on the graph will appear parallel to each other (assuming they are going same speed) because the position is changing at the same rate, one is just reaching the same point after the other. If the skater behind overtakes the one in front. The lines on the graph will cross and continue either in parallel but with the other line on top to represent the moment where their position is the same right before they pass and after, where the second skater is now in front.

Hope this helped!

<em>In SI units, nano is 1000th part of micro which in turn is 1000th part of mini which in turn is 1000th part of main unit. Now, when you affix nano to any unit, here in case, second, it means that you are referring to 1000th part of 1000th part of 1000th part of second or in short, 1000000000th(10^9) part of a second.</em>

The volume occupied by a sample of gas is 480 mL when the pressure is 115 kPa.What pressure must be applied to the gas to make i
balandron [24]

Answer:

The answer is

<h2>84.9 kPa</h2>

Explanation:

Using Boyle's law to find the final pressure

That's

P_1V_1 = P_2V_2

where

P1 is the initial pressure

P2 is the final pressure

V1 is the initial volume

V2 is the final volume

Since we are finding the final pressure

P_2 =  \frac{P_1V_1}{V_2}

From the question

P1 = 115 kPa

V1 = 480 mL

V2 = 650 ml

So we have

P_2 =  \frac{115000 \times 480}{650}  = \frac{55200000}{650}  \\  = 84923.076923...

We have the final answer as

<h3>84.9 kPa</h3>

Hope this helps you
