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.

Ket [755]

Answer:

Perfectly inelastic collision

Explanation:

There are two types of collision.

1. Elastic collision : When the momentum of the system and the kinetic energy of the system is conserved, the collision is said to be elastic. For example, the collision of two atoms or molecules are considered to be elastic collision.

2. Inelastic collision: When the momentum  the system is conserved but the kinetic energy is not conserved, the collision is said to be inelastic. For example, collision of a ball with the mud.

For a perfectly elastic collision, the two bodies stick together after collision.

Here, the meteorite collide with the Mars and buried inside it, the collision is said to be perfectly inelastic. here the kinetic energy of a body lost completely during the collision.

A motorcycle of mass 100 kilograms slowly rolls off the edge of a cliff and falls for three seconds before reaching the bottom o
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

C) 3,000 kg m/s

Explanation:

We can consider the horizontal velocity of the motorcycle to be zero, since it rolls off the edge of the cliff very slowly. So, we only need to find the vertical velocity at the time of the impact with the ground.

The vertical velocity of the motorcycle at time t is given by (free-fall motion):

v(t)=v_0 -gt

where

v_0=0 is the initial vertical velocity (zero, since the motorcycle is not moving)

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity

t is the time

Since the motorcycle hits the ground after t = 3 seconds, we have

v(3 s)=0-(9.8 m/s^2)(3 s)=-29.4 m/s

And since we know its mass, m=100 kg, we can find its momentum:

p=mv=(100 kg)(-29.4 m/s)=-2940 kg m/s \cdot -3000 kg m/s

and the negative sign simply means downward direction.

Anybody know these ?
pashok25 [27]

Answer:

1. a) 72 N.

2. a) 2 m/s².

Explanation:

Given the following data;

1. Mass = 90kg

Acceleration = 0.8 m/s²

To find the force;

Force = mass * acceleration

Force = 90 * 0.8

Force = 72 Newton.

2. Mass = 50kg

Force = 100N

To find the magnitude of acceleration;

Acceleration = force/mass

Acceleration = 100/50

Acceleration = 2 m/s²
