An object falling. What type of energy is being described

Physics

Answer:

As an object falls from rest, its gravitational potential energy is converted to kinetic energy. Conservation of energy as a tool permits the calculation of the velocity just before it hits the surface. K.E. = J, which is of course equal to its initial potential energy.

What is Elasticity? (best answer will get marked brainliest)
Firdavs [7]

Answer:

In economics, elasticity is the measurement of the percentage change of one economic variable in response to a change in another.

An elastic variable (with an absolute elasticity value greater than 1) is one which responds more than proportionally to changes in other variables. In contrast, an inelastic variable (with an absolute elasticity value less than 1) is one which changes less than proportionally in response to changes in other variables. A variable can have different values of its elasticity at different starting points: for example, the quantity of a good supplied by producers might be elastic at low prices but inelastic at higher prices, so that a rise from an initially low price might bring on a more-than-proportionate increase in quantity supplied while a rise from an initially high price might bring on a less-than-proportionate rise in quantity supplied.

Elasticity can be quantified as the ratio of the percentage change in one variable to the percentage change in another variable, when the latter variable has a causal influence on the former. A more precise definition is given in terms of differential calculus. It is a tool for measuring the responsiveness of one variable to changes in another, causative variable. Elasticity has the advantage of being a unitless ratio, independent of the type of quantities being varied. Frequently used elasticities include price elasticity of demand, price elasticity of supply, income elasticity of demand, elasticity of substitution between factors of production and elasticity of intertemporal substitution.

Elasticity is one of the most important concepts in neoclassical economic theory. It is useful in understanding the incidence of indirect taxation, marginal concepts as they relate to the theory of the firm, and distribution of wealth and different types of goods as they relate to the theory of consumer choice. Elasticity is also crucially important in any discussion of welfare distribution, in particular consumer surplus, producer surplus, or government surplus.

In empirical work an elasticity is the estimated coefficient in a linear regression equation where both the dependent variable and the independent variable are in natural logs. Elasticity is a popular tool among empiricists because it is independent of units and thus simplifies data analysis.

A major study of the price elasticity of supply and the price elasticity of demand for US products was undertaken by Joshua Levy and Trevor Pollock in the late 1960s..

Suppose that a balloon is being filled with air at a rate of 10 cm3/s. (Assume that theballoon is a perfect sphere.) At what rat
Basile [38]

Answer:

Therefore the surface area of the balloon is increased at 4 cm³/s.

Explanation:

The balloon is being filled with air at a rate of 10 cm³/s

It means the volume of the balloon is increased at a rate 10 cm³/s.

i.e \frac{dv}{dt} =10 cm^3/s

Consider r be the radius of the balloon.

The volume of of a sphere is

v=\frac{4}{3} \pi r^3

Differentiate with respect to t

\frac{dv}{dt} =\frac{4}{3} \pi \times 3r^2\frac{dr}{dt}

\Rightarrow 10 =4\pi r^2\frac{dr}{dt}

\Rightarrow \frac{dr}{dt}=\frac{10}{4\pi r^2}

The surface of area of the balloon is(S) = 4\pi r^2

S=4\pi r^2

Differentiate with respect to t

\frac{dS}{dt} =4\pi\times2r\frac{dr}{dt}

\Rightarrow \frac{dS}{dt} =8\pi r\frac{dr}{dt}

Putting the value of \frac{dr}{dt}

\Rightarrow \frac{dS}{dt} =8\pi r\times\frac{10}{4\pi r^2}

\Rightarrow \frac{dS}{dt} =\frac{20}{ r}

Given that r = 5 cm

[\frac{dS}{dt}]_{r=5} =\frac{20}{ 5}  =4 cm³/s

Therefore the surface area of the balloon is increased at 4 cm³/s.

The image formed by a plane mirror is _____.
Thepotemich [5.8K]
The image formed by a plane mirror is virtual, upright and the same size with the actual object. The upright image of an object in a plane mirror is can be found on the other side of the mirror which is why it is also virtual.
