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..

6) b) 2.7 m/s

7) b) DCA

8) b) B

Explanation:

6)

In a displacement-time plot, the slope of the line is given by

$m=\frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x}$

where

$\Delta y$ is the change in the y-variable, so it is the displacement

$\Delta x$ is the change in the x-variable, so it is the time elapsed

So, the slope of the line in a displacement-time plot corresponds to the velocity:

$v=m=\frac{d}{t}$

Therefore, to find the velocity of the object, we have to estimate the slope of its curve.

To estimate the velocity of object B, we have to estimate the slope of the line tangent to curve B at 10 seconds.

By doing an estimate by eye, we see that the displacement of object B changes from -10 m to 0 m when time increases from about 8 s to 12 s, so the velocity is about:

$v=\frac{0-(-10)}{12-8}\sim 2.5 m/s$

So the closest option is b) 2.7 m/s.

7)

As we said in part A, the velocity of each object is given by the slope of each curve.

Therefore:

- The steeper the curve, the higher the velocity

- The less steep the curve, the lower the velocity

From the graph, we observe that, among A, C and D:

- Curve D has the largest slope (in absolute value), so object D has the largest magnitude of the velocity

- Curve C is less steep than curve C, so object C has the second largest magnitude of velocity

- Curve A is flat, so the slope is zero, so its velocity is zero

So, from greatest magnitude to lowest magnitude of velocity, we have:

b) DCA

8)

In the graph, the overall displacement of each object is given by the change in the y-variable, $\Delta y$ .

This means that the object with largest displacement is the object whose curve has the largest variation in y.

From the graph, we see that:

- Object b has the largest variation in y, from -15 m to 30 m, so

$\Delta y=30-(-15)=45 m$

- Then, object D has the second largest displacement (in magnitude), from -15 m to 25 m,

$|\Delta y| = 25 -(-15)=40 m$

Finally, object C has displacement

$\Delta y = 20-(-5)=25 m$

While object A has displacement zero. Therefore, the correct option is

b) B
