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
Answer:
The velocity of the man from the frame of reference of a stationary observer is, V₂ = 5 m/s
Explanation:
Given,
Your velocity, V₁ = 2 m/
The velocity of the person, V₂ =?
The velocity of the person relative to you, V₂₁ = 3 m/s
According to the relative velocity of two
V₂₁ = V₂ -V₁
∴ V₂ = V₂₁ + V₁
On substitution
V₂ = 3 + 2
= 5 m/s
Hence, the velocity of the man from the frame of reference of a stationary observe is, V₂ = 5 m/s
Answer:
0.0319 m³
Explanation:
Use ideal gas law:
PV = nRT
where P is pressure, V is volume, n is amount of gas, R is the gas constant, and T is temperature.
Since P, n, and R are held constant:
n₁ R / P₁ = n₂ R₂ / P₂
Which means:
V₁ / T₁ = V₂ / T₂
Plugging in:
0.0279 m³ / 280 K = V / 320 K
V = 0.0319 m³
<u>Answer</u>
3.7 Km south
<u>Explanation</u>
The definition of displacement is the distance traveled in a specific direction. It is the vector quantity. We add displacements like the way we add vectors.
Taking the direction towards North to be positive (+1.7 Km), the distance towards south would be negative (-5.4 Km).
Now lets add the two values.
(+1.7) + (-5.4) = 1.7 - 5.4
= - 3.7 Km But negative was towards south.
∴ Answer = 3.7 Km south.
Answer:
The new speed is 56.25 miles/hour.
Explanation:
Since speed = distance/time;
time = distance/speed.
While driving at 50 miles/hour, time taken for one to complete 1 mile is (1/50) hour
(1/50) hour = (1/50) × 3600s = 72 seconds.
So, if this time to complete 1 mile (72 seconds) is reduced by 8 seconds,
New time to complete 1 mile will be = 72 - 8 = 64 seconds = (64/3600) hour = 0.0178 hour
New speed would be = (1 mile/64 seconds) = (1 mile/0.0178 hour) = 56.25 miles/hour.
Hope this Helps!!!
