Concept explainers
The way to determine if and when the line skater will pass the other skater.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
A position time graph is the graphical representation of the motion of an object.
In a position time graph, the position and time are plotted. The slope represents the velocity of the object. The lines will intersect if they have different velocities. One skater will pass the other at the time when the lines intersect.
Conclusion:
If the graph of the two skaters intersect, one skater will pass the other at that corresponding time.
