Answer:

a) 0

Explanation:

A) since he is going around a race track, his initial position is 0m, and his ending position is also 0m, so his displacement is 0. Yes, his distance is 500m, but his displacement is 0, and he did not end up going anywhere for his final position.

B) Distance is total amount traveled, which in this case is 500m, but displacement is 0 as he did not change his position.

How does gay-lussac's law apply to everyday life?

vladimir2022 [97]

Gay-Lussac's Law shows the direct relationship between pressure and temperature for an ideal gas with constant volume. Mathematically it is
$\frac{P_{1}}{T_{1}} = \frac{P_{2}}{T_{2}}$

This particular has a lot of application in our everyday life. In cooking, for example, we apply this concept when using a pressure cooker. We increase/decrease the temperature to meet the right amount of pressure.

In addition, knowing that pressure increases when temperature does can help you with road safety. Knowing that temperature affects heat directly, we must be careful in making sure that tires are not overheated or else they explode out of too much pressure inside.
