Answer: elastic (e = 2.43)

Explanation:

The price elasticity formulae is given below as

Elasticy of price = change in quantity demanded / change in price.

P1 =$2.60, P2 = $6.30, q1 =17 and q2 = 8

e = q2 - q1/ P2 - P1

e = 8 - 17/ 6.30 - 2.60

e = - 9 /3.7

e = - 2.43

We take the modulus of e to have a positive value. Hence e = 2.43

Since e is greater than 1, then the elasticity of demand is elastic

LiRa [457]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the concept of overlap and constructive interference.

For this purpose we have that the constructive interference in waves can be expressed under the function

$a sin\theta = m\lambda$

Where

a = Width of the slit

d = Distance of slit to screen

m = Number of order which represent the number of repetition of the spectrum

$\theta =$ Angle between incident rays and scatter planes

At the same time the distance on the screen from the central point, would be

$sin\theta = \frac{y}{d}$

Where y = Represents the distance on the screen from the central point

PART A ) From the previous equation if we arrange to find the angle we have that

$\theta = sin^{-1}(\frac{y}{d})$

$\theta = sin^{-1}(\frac{1.4*10^{-2}}{3})$

$\theta = 0.2673\°$

PART B) Equation both equations we have

$a sin\theta = m\lambda$

$a \frac{y}{d} = m\lambda$

Re-arrange to find a,

$a = \frac{(2)(385*10^{-9})(3)}{(1.4*10^{-2})}$

$a = 1.65*10^{-4}m$

A car and a train move together along straight, parallel paths with the same constant cruising speed v(initial). At t=0 the car

kogti [31]

Answer:

$t_1 = \frac{v_i}{a_i}$

$t_2 = \frac{v_i}{a_i}$

Δd = $v_it_1 = v_i^2/a_i$

Explanation:

As $v(t) = v_i + at$ , when the car is making full stop, $v(t_1) = 0$ . $a = -a_i$ . Therefore,

$0 = v_i - a_it_1\\v_i = a_it_1\\t_1 = \frac{v_i}{a_i}$

Apply the same formula above, with $v(t_2) = v_i$ and $a = a_i$ , and the car is starting from 0 speed, we have

$v_i = 0 + a_it_2\\t_2 = \frac{v_i}{a_i}$

As $s(t) = vt + \frac{at^2}{2}$ . After $t = t_1 + t_2$ , the car would have traveled a distance of

$s(t) = s(t_1) + s(t_2)\\s(t_1) = (v_it_1 - \frac{a_it_1^2}{2})\\ s(t_2) = \frac{a_it_2^2}{2}$

Hence $s(t) = (v_it_1 - \frac{a_it_1^2}{2}) + \frac{a_it_2^2}{2}$

As $t_1 = t_2$ we can simplify $s(t) = v_it_1$

After t time, the train would have traveled a distance of $s(t) = v_i(t_1 + t_2) = 2v_it_1$

Therefore, Δd would be $2v_it_1 - v_it_1 = v_it_1 = v_i^2/a_i$

Molodets [167]

Answer:

4x

Explanation:

Use $v^{2} = u^{2} +2as$ to do the question.

For first instance,

$0 = v^{2} +2ax$ -------------------( 1 )

for second instance,

$0 = (2v)^{2} +2as$ -----------------( 2 )

So by (1) and (2),

s = 4x

How do you find the direction of displacement?

You draw a straight line from the start point to the end point. It doesn't matter what route was actually followed for the trip.
