lesya [120]4 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Explanation:

The concept of elastic and inelastic demand is applied.

for an elastic demand, the elasticity must be greater than 1 and for an Inelastic demand, the elasticity must be less than 1.

The steps and appropriate calculation is as shown in the attached file.

How does the graph of velocity vs. time look for something with a constant positive acceleration?
Pie

Answer:

The correct answer is option b.

Explanation:

In velocity vs time graph, vertical axis represent velocity vector and horizontal axis represents time. The slope of the line obtained in this graph is equal to the acceleration.

Slope= \frac{Velocity}{Time}=Acceleration

  • If the line is straight makes an acute angle with horizontal axis then it is considered as positive acceleration.
  • If the line is straight makes an obtuse angle with horizontal axis then it is considered as negative acceleration or deceleration.

Why is energy efficiency important to society’s need to be efficient with energy usage?
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

To save the unnecessary bills and carbon emissions.

Explanation:

Energy efficiency is important to society in the following ways:

1. It saves the unnecessary bills as buildings who are using energy efficiently have less demands.

2. Saving energy for the future generations as we know low demand would save the sources.

3. Energy efficiency is also important to society in environmental ways at efficient energy means low carbon emissions.

The second Law of Thermodynamics states that: A. spontaneous processes are characterized by the overall conversion of order to d
Georgia [21]

Answer:

Spontaneous processes are characterized by the overall conversion of order to disorder.

Explanation:

The second law of thermodynamics states that: A spontaneous process occurs only if there is an increase in entropy of a system and its surroundings.

Entropy, S, is a measure of the randomness or disorder of a system. It is measured in J/Kmol.

The change in entropy, ∆S = ∆H/T

Where ∆H = change in enthalpy, T = Temperature in Kelvin.

For,

I. An endothermic reaction, ∆S = positive (that is, ∆S is greater than zero), there is an increase in entropy, therefore, the reaction is spontaneous.

II. An exothermic reaction, ∆S = negative (that is, ∆S is less than zero) there is a decrease in entropy, so, the reaction is non-spontaneous.

III. A system at equilibrium, ∆S = 0.

Then,

The standard change in entropy of a reaction, ∆So reaction , is the difference in the standard entropies between products and reactants:

∆So reaction = n ∆Soproducts - m ∆Soreactants

Where, = sigma = sum of,

∆ = delta = change in,

n and m = stoichiometric coefficients of the products and reactants respectively.

Furthermore, the entropy of the system and surroundings is referred to as the entropy of the universe.

∆Suniverse = ∆Ssurroundings + ∆Ssystem.

Processes leading to an increase in entropy include melting, heating, vaporization, dissolving.

A dinner plate falls vertically to the floor and breaks up into three pieces, which slide horizontally along the floor. Immediat
N76 [4]

Answer:

p_k=\sqrt{p_x^2+p_y^2}}

Explanation:

Apply the momentum in each direction knowing that the impact is at the same time for the pieces so

p_x=m_1*v_1

p_x=200g*2.0m/s=0.4kgm/s

p_y=m_2*v_2

p_y=235g*1.5m/s=0.3525kgm/s

So the momentum in the other piece can be find knowing that

p_x^2+p_y^2=p_k^2

So:

p_k=\sqrt{p_x^2+p_y^2}}

p_k=\sqrt{0.4^2+0.3525^2}}=\sqrt{0.2842 kg^2*m^2/s^2}

p_k=0.5331kg*m/s

To find the velocity knowing the mass

p_k=m_k*v_k

v_k=\frac{p_k}{m_k}=\frac{0.5331 kg*m/s}{0.10kg}

v_k=5.331 m/s
