<span>The 3rd astronaut would catch the 2nd astronaut and throw the 2nd astronaut towards the 1st and the game would end there.
The key thing to remember is conservation of momentum. Since all of the astronauts have the same mass and strength, I will be introducing a unit called "A" which represents the maximum momentum that one astronaut can produce while throwing another. So here's the game of catch, throw by throw.
Before the game begins, I will assume all three astronauts are stationary and have 0 momentum. So
Astronaut 1 = 0 A (Stationary, next to astronaut 2)
Astronaut 2 = 0 A (Stationary, next to astronaut 1)
Astronaut 3 = 0 A (Stationary)
1st astronaut grabs the 2nd astronaut and throws him towards the 3rd.
Since every action has an equal and opposite reaction, what will happen is the 1st astronaut will be sent moving backwards with a momentum of -1/2A and the 2nd astronaut will be heading towards the 3rd with a momentum of +1/A. So we're left with
Astronaut 1 = -1/2 A (Moving to the left)
Astronaut 2 = +1/2 A (Moving to the right)
Astronaut 3 = 0 A (Stationary)
Now the 3rd astronaut catches the 2nd who was thrown at him. Both of them continue moving in the same direction as the 2nd astronaut was just prior to being caught, but at a reduced velocity, giving
Astronaut 1 = -1/2 A (Moving to the left)
Astronaut 2 = +1/4 A (Moving to the right, slowly)
Astronaut 3 = +1/4 A (Moving to the right, slowly)
Finally, Astronaut 3 throws astronaut 2 back towards Astronaut 1, giving
Astronaut 1 = -1/2 A (Moving to the left)
Astronaut 2 = +1/4 A -1/2A = -1/4A (Moving to the left, slowly)
Astronaut 3 = +1/4 A +1/2A = +3/4A (Moving to the right, rapidly)
So what you're left with is Astronaut 1 moving to the left faster than Astronaut 2, so those two astronauts will never catch each other. Meanwhile, Astronaut 3 is moving to the right and getting further and further away from the other 2 astronauts. So none of the astronauts will ever be able to catch or throw anyone ever again.</span>
It shows a positive correlation
Just go from the very left of the graph to the very right and see, if the points go up or down.
Or pick off some points to see the trend
(2,1) (3,2) and (5,4)
These points show that over time the number of typos go up with the number of pages printed.
i. Let t be the line tangent at point J. We know that a tangent line at a point on a circle, is perpendicular to the diameter comprising that certain point. So t is perpendicular to JL
let l be the tangent line through L. Then l is perpendicular to JL ii. So t and l are 2 different lines, both perpendicular to line JL.
2 lines perpendicular to a third line, are parallel to each other, so the tangents t and l are parallel to each other.
Remark. Draw a picture to check the
Your solution would be x<25
