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.

On a cross-country trip, a couple drives 500 mi in 10 h on the first day, 380 mi in 8.0 h on the second day, and 600 mi in 15 h
Zepler [3.9K]

We know that the average speed is simply the ratio of the total distance travelled over the total duration of the trip.

total distance = 500 mi + 380 mi + 600 mi

total distance = 1,480 mi

 

total time = 10 h + 8 h + 15 h

total time = 33 h

 

So the average speed is therefore:

average speed = 1,480 mi / 33 h

<span>average speed = 44.85 mi / h</span>

The normal force acting on an object and the force of static friction do zero work on the object. However the reason that the wo
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

<em>The normal force is perpendicular to the displacement</em>

<em>The static friction force produces no displacement</em>

Explanation:

Work Done By Special Forces

The work is a physical magnitude that measures the dot product of the force applied to an object by the displacement it produces in it.

W=\vec F\ \vec r

It can be written in its scalar version as

W=F.d.cos\theta

Being F and d the magnitudes of the force and displacement, and \theta the angle between them

If the angle is zero, the work is at maximum, it the angle is 90°, the work is zero. If the angle is between 90° and 180°, the work is negative.

The normal force acts in the vertical direction when the object is being pushed horizontally. It means the angle between the force and the displacement is 90°, thus the work is

W=N.d.cos90^o=0

The work is zero because the force and the displacement are perpendicular

The static friction force exists only when the object is being applied a force of a magnitude not large enough to produce movement, i.e. the object is at rest. If the object is moved, the friction force is still present, but it's called dynamic friction force, usually smaller than the static.

Since in this case, there is no displacement, d=0, and the work is

W=F_r(0)cos180^o=0

An aircraft performs a maneuver called an "aileron roll." During this maneuver, the plane turns like a screw as it maintains a s
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

0.17724 m/s²

Explanation:

D = Diameter of roll = Length of wing = 11 m

T = Time it takes to complete the circle = 35 s

Velocity

v=\frac{2\pi R}{T}\\\Rightarrow v=\frac{\pi D}{T}\\\Rightarrow v=\frac{\pi\times 11}{35}\\\Rightarrow v=0.98735\ m/s

Acceleration

a=\frac{v^2}{R}\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{0.98735^2}{\frac{11}{2}}\\\Rightarrow a=0.17724\ m/s^2

Acceleration of the tip of the plane is 0.17724 m/s²

Earth’s atmosphere is in hydrostatic equilibrium. What this means is that the pressure at any point in the atmosphere must be hi
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer: The pressure that one experiences on the Mount Everest will be different from the one, in a classroom. It is because pressure and height are inversely proportional to each other. This means that as we move up, the height keeps on increasing but the pressure will keep on decreasing. This is the case that will be observed when one stands on the Mount Everest as the pressure is comparatively much lower there.

It is because as we move up, the amount of air molecules keeps on decreasing but all of the air molecules are concentrated on the lower part of the atmosphere or on the earth's surface.

Thus a person in a low altitude inside a classroom will experience high pressure and a person standing on the Mount Everest will experience low pressure.
