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

Question illustration
Answer:

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

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.

Did your answer include the following?

A
Examine the denominator and find that r2 = 0 when r = 0.
B
Determine that there is a vertical asymptote at r = 0.
C
Conclude that as the distance between the objects approaches 0, the gravitational force between them approaches infinity.
