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>

The power lines are at a high potential relative to the ground, so there is an electric field between the power lines and the gr
Amanda [17]

Answer:

The tube should be held vertically and perpendicular to the ground.

Explanation:

Answer: The tube should be held vertically and perpendicular to the ground. The reason is as follows:

Reasoning:

The power lines are parallel to the ground hence, their electric field will be perpendicular to the ground and equipotential surface will be cylindrical.

Hence, if you will put fluorescent tube parallel to the ground then both the ends of the tube will lie on the same equipotential surface and the potential difference will be zero.

So, to maximize the potential the ends of the tube must be on different equipotential surfaces. The surface which is near to the power line has high potential value and the surface which is farther from the line has lower potential value.

hence, to maximize the potential difference, the tube must be placed perpendicular to the ground.

A bug is 12 cm from the center of a turntable that is rotating with a frequency of 45 rev/min . What minimum coefficient frictio
Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

The minimum coefficient of friction is 0.27.

Explanation:

To solve this problem, start with identifying the forces at play here. First, the bug staying on the rotating turntable will be subject to the centripetal force constantly acting toward the center of the turntable (in absence of which the bug would leave the turntable in a straight line). Second, there is the force of friction due to which the bug can stick to the table. The friction force acts as an intermediary to enable the centripetal acceleration to happen.

Centripetal force is written as

F_c = m\frac{v^2}{r}

with v the linear velocity and r the radius of the turntable. We are not given v, but we can write it as

v = r\omega

with ω denoting the angular velocity, which we are given. With that, the above becomes:

F_c = m\frac{v^2}{r}=m\omega^2 r

Now, the friction force must be at least as much (in magnitude) as Fc. The coefficient (static) of friction μ must be large enough. How large?

F_r=\mu mg \geq m\omega^2 r = F_c\implies\\\mu \geq \frac{\omega^2 r}{g}

Let's plug in the numbers. The angular velocity should be in radians per second. We are given rev/min, which can be easily transformed by a factor 2pi/60:

\frac{1 rev}{1 min}\cdot\frac{\frac{2\pi rad}{rev}}{\frac{60s}{1 min}}=\frac{2\pi}{60}\frac{rad}{s}

and so 45 rev/min = 4.71 rad/s.

\mu \geq \frac{\omega^2 r}{g}=\frac{4.71^2\frac{1}{s^2}\cdot 0.12m}{9.8\frac{m}{s^2}}=0.27

A static coefficient of friction of at least be 0.27 must be present for the bug to continue enjoying the ride on the turntable.

What is voltage, and what is its relationship to amperage and power?
ziro4ka [17]

Explanation:

Amperage is the unit of electric current. It describes the strength of the electric current in a circuit.

The voltage is the driving force of the current in a circuit

Power is a function of voltage and current in the circuit.

   Current is designate as I

    Voltage as V

    Power as P

  I = \frac{V}{R}

Where R is the resistance to flow of electricity

        P = I x V = \frac{V^{2} }{R}

The unit of power is watts and voltage is volts

Sally takes two bar magnets and randomly tapes one end of each bar magnet. she labels the magnets A and B. She brings the taped
Artyom0805 [142]
I already answered this quesiton. The fact is that there are only two kind of poles and since the two taped poles of the magnets labeled A and B attracts one to each other, we know that the two taped poles of the first two magnets are oppsosite.

Then, the taped pole of the third magnet has to be equal to one of the first two taped poles and opposite to the other of the first two taped poles.

That drives you to conclude (predict)  that when she brings the taped end of the third magnet (magnet C) near each of the first two magntes, in one case they will attract each other and in the other case they will repele mutually.

The circumference of a bicycle wheel is 2 meters. if it rotates at 1 revolution per second then its linear speed is
tester [92]
Given:
Circumference = 2 m
Angular speed,  ω = 1 rev/s = 2π radians/s

If the radius is r, then
2πr = 2 
r = 1/π m

The linear (tangential) speed is
v = rω
   = (1/π m)*(2π rad/s) = 0.5 m/s

Answer: 0.5 m/s
