The purpose of an experiment is to LEARN the EFFECT of something.
The way you do that is to CHANGE the thing and see what happens.
You can change as many things as you want to. But If you change
TWO things and observe the result, then you don't know which one
of them caused the effect you see.
Or maybe BOTH of them working together caused it. You don't know.
So your experiment is not really much good. You need to do it again.
The fatal current is 51 mA = 0.051 Ampere.
The resistance is 2,050Ω .
Voltage = (current) x (resistance)
= (0.051 Ampere) x (2,050 Ω) = 104.6 volts .
==================
This is what the arithmetic says IF the information in the question
is correct.
I don't know how true this is, and I certainly don't plan to test it,
but I have read that a current as small as 15 mA through the
heart can be fatal, not 51 mA .
If 15 mA can do it, and the sweaty electrician's resistance is
really 2,050 Ω, then the fatal voltage could be as little as 31 volts !
The voltage at the wall-outlets in your house is 120 volts in the USA !
THAT's why you don't want to stick paper clips or a screwdriver into
outlets, and why you want to cover unused outlets with plastic plugs
if there are babies crawling around.
Answer:
A - elastic since many other fast food items could be considered close substitutes.
Explanation:
The price elasticity of demand is how much the demand of the Big Macs will change due to a 1% change in price. Should the elasticity be greater than 1, the Big Macs will be elastic. Should it be less than 1, the Big Macs are inelastic.
Demand elasticity is calculated as the percentage change in quantity demanded divided by a percentage change in price.
Since Big Macs are (i) a luxury good, and (ii) have close substitutes (other burgers available at McDonalds and other fast food stores), we will say their elasticity is greater than 1.
This means that the demand of Big Macs will change due to a 1% increase in price due to the presence of close substitutes.
Answer: 1.13 X 10^3 g or 1130 g
Explanation: When you add up everything, you will get 1134.1288 g = 1.11341218 X 10^3. But while adding significant figures, we always look for the least significant figures (here 4.65 has least sig. figures i.e. 3) and take that as a reference to how many significant figures we should have in the answer. (Pretty hard to explain!) Hope you got it!!
