Answer:

increase by 8 percent

Explanation:

<em>Price elasticity of supply of a product is the degree of responsiveness of supply of that product to a change in price.</em> Simply put:

Price Elasticity of supply = change in quantity supply/ change in price.

In this case, price elasticity of supply of gasoline = 0.4

Percentage price increase = 20 percent.

Hence,

           0.4 = change in supply/20

           Change in supply = 20 x 0.4 = 8 percent

<em>Therefore, the quantity supply of gasoline will increase by 8 percent</em>

A 2.0-kg ball has a momentum of 25kg.m/s what is the ball's speed?
Reil [10]

We know, momentum = mass * speed

25kgm/s = 2 kg * s

s = 25/2 = 12.5 m/s

9. How does the length of the hypotenuse in a right triangle relate to the lengths of the legs? (2 points)
konstantin123 [22]
<span>The pythagorean theorem addresses the length of the hypotenuse in relation to the length of the legs. The square root of the length of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of one leg squared plus the other leg squared. In other words, A squared plus B squared equals C squared where A and B are the lengths of the legs of the triangle and C is the length of the hypotenuse.</span>

The maximum force that a grocery bag can withstand without ripping is 250 n. Suppose that the bag is filled with 20 kg of grocer
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

Groceries stay in the bag.

Explanation:

Given:

Maximum force = 250 N

Bag filled with = 20 kg

Lifted acceleration = 5.0\ m/s^2

Solution:

We need to calculate the exerted force on the grocery bag by using Newton's second law.

F = ma

Where:

F = Exerted force on the object.

m = Mass of the object in kg

a = Acceleration of the object in m/s^2

Now, we substitute m = 20 kg and a = 5.0\ m/s^2 in Newton's second law,

F = 20\times 5.0

F = 100\ m/s^2

Since, the exerted force on the bag is less than 250 N, the groceries will stay in the bag.
