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>

An object of volume 0.0004m^3 and density 6000kg/m^3 is immersed inside a fluid of density 5000kg/m^3. The force exerted by the
FromTheMoon [43]

We have that the density of the fluid is

\rho_f=178.57  kg/m3

From the question we are told that

object of volume 0.0004m^3

density 6000kg/m^3

fluid of density 5000kg/m^3.

Force F=0.7N

Generally the equation for the Force   is mathematically given as

F= v*\rho_f*g\\\\0.7= 0.0004*\rho_f*9.8\\\\\rho_f=\frac{0.7}{0.0004*9.8}

\rho_f=178.57  kg/m3

Electromagnetic waves are transverse waves. They consist of traveling electric and magnetic fields which oscillate periodically.
masha68 [24]

Answer:

The answer is D.) 90

Explanation:

the electromagnetic wave is a transverse wave. the electric field makes an angle of 90° with the magnetic field. both these fields, in turn, make an angle of 90° with the direction of movement of the wave.

A powered winch is used to pull a sailboat to shore. The winch uses a 900 W motor. If the motor is used for 30 s, how much work
kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

they have given us

power = 900W

time = 30s

p =  \frac{wd}{t}  \\ p \times t = wd \\ 900 \times 30 = w.d \\ 27000j

15. A machine must move an object 15.1 meters by exerting a 121 Newton force. If the machine
Tcecarenko [31]

The power provided by the machine is 13.24 W.

Answer:

Explanation:

Power is determined as the ratio of work done by the system or on the system to the time interval. As the work done is equal to the product of force acting on the system or by the system with the  displacement experienced by the system. The power provided by the machine will be

Power = Work done /Time

As the force is given as 121 N and the displacement is given as 15.1 m in a time interval of 2.3 minutes. The time interval should be changed to seconds for each solving ability.

Time taken = 2.3 * 60 s = 138 s

Power = (121×15.1)/138 = 13.24 W.

So the power provided by the machine is 13.24 W.
