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.

Elasticity - Price of demand.

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.

Elastic Demand

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

If the pressure of a gas sample is quadrupled and the absolute temperature is doubled. True or False

Vanyuwa [196]

The given statement"If the pressure of a gas sample is quadrupled and the absolute temperature is doubled" is false.

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

As we know the direct relationship between Pressure and Temperature by the Gay-Lussac’s Law,

$P_{1} T_{1}=P_{2} T_{2}$

From this, we get,

$\frac{P_{1}}{T_{2}}=\frac{P_{2}}{T_{1}}$

$T_{2}=\frac{P_{1} T_{1}}{P_{2}}$

So, according to given statement, we have $P_{2} = 4 P_{1}$

Then from the above expression, we can find out the value of $T_{2}$ when pressure increased by 4 times of initial pressure as,

$T_{2}=\frac{P_{1} T_{1}}{4 P_{1}}$

Hence, we get,

$T_{1}=4 T_{2}$

Hence, from the above expression we can say that as we increase the pressure four times, the temperature does not get doubled. So, the given statement in the question is false.

Si un cuerpo adquiere una carga de -0,02 C, ha ganado o ha perdido electrones? Cuantos?

sammy [17]

Question :

If a body acquires a charge of -0.02 C, has it gained or lost electrons? Many?

Solution :

We know, charge gained is shown by negative sign.

Since, charged acquired is given as -0.02 C .

Therefore, it is body has gained electrons.

Now, number of electrons is given by :

$n = \dfrac{net\ charge}{charge \ on \ one \ electron}\\\\n = \dfrac{-0.02}{-1.60 \times 10^{-19}}\\\\n = 1.25\times 10^{17}$

Hence, this is the required solution.

You exert a 100-N force on a pulley system to lift 300-N. What is the mechanical advantage of this system? How many sections of

Andrei [34K]

Answer:

Mechanical advantage = 3

Explanation:

You exert a 100-N force on a pulley system to lift 300-N.

The mechanical advantage of the system is given by the ratio of output force to the input force.

Here, output force = 300 N and input force = 100 N

Mechanical advantage,

$m=\dfrac{300}{100}\\\\m=3$

Mechanical advantage is 3 it means that there are 3 sections of rope support. Hence, this is the required solution.
