Question 8

Use the equation where p = pressure and V = volume.What happens to the pressure as the volume approaches 0? Explain your reasoning.

Revolt · Accepted Answer

As the volume approaches 0 from above, the pressure approaches infinity. The function is undefined at V = 0, which is a vertical asymptote.

Question 31

Revolt · Accepted Answer

To find the vertical asymptote of the gravitational force function, we examine the denominator, r^2. Setting the denominator to zero (r^2 = 0) shows that there is a vertical asymptote at r = 0. This means that as the distance (r) between two objects approaches zero, the gravitational force between them increases without bound, approaching infinity.
