Physics

STatiana [176]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

B. The elastic portion of a​ straight-line, downward-sloping demand curve corresponds to the segment above the midpoint.

Explanation:

Elasticity measures the sensitivity of one variable to another. Specifically it is a figure that indicates the percentage variation that a variable will experience in response to a variation of another one percent.

The elasticity of demand measures the reaction of demand when one of the factors that affects it varies.

<u>Elasticity - Price of demand.</u>

easure the sensitivity of the quantity demanded to price variations. It indicates the percentage variation that the quantity demanded of a good will experience if its price rises by 1 percent.

<u> Elastic Demand </u>

The demand quantity is relatively sensitive to price variations, so the total expenditure on the product decreases when the price rises, the price elasticity takes value greater than -∞ but less than -1

a body dropped from a height reaches a velocity of 13m/s just before touching the ground. What is the initial height of the ball
SashulF [63]

Hi there!

We can use the following (derived) equation to solve for the final velocity given height:

vf = √2gh

We can rearrange to solve for height:

vf² = 2gh

vf²/2g = h

Plug in the given values (g = 9.81 m/s²)

(13)²/2(9.81) = 8.614 m

We can calculate time using the equation:

vf = vi + at, where:

vi = initial velocity (since dropped from rest, = 0 m/s)

a = acceleration (in this instance, due to gravity)

Plug in values:

13 = at

13/a = t

13/9.81 = 1.325 sec

A ball rolls from x = - 5m to x = 0m in 1 second . What was its average velocity? (Units = m/s) Don't forget: velocities and dis
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

+ 5 m/s

Explanation:

change in displacement = ΔX=final position - initial position

                                            ΔX = 0-(-5) =0+5 =+ 5 m

average velocity =  ΔX/t

                             = +5/1

                             = + 5 m/s

positive sign shows that ball rolls towards right

We use towels to dry our body after taking a shower,why?<br><br>​
9966 [12]

Answer:

A wet body has a relatively high concentration of water. When this is transferred to a towel, the large surface area of the towel fabric distributes the water molecules over a much greater surface area, so the relative concentration is lower.
