Suppose a profit-maximizing firm in a competitive market produces rubber bands. When the market price for rubber bands falls bel

ow the minimum of its average total cost, but still lies above the minimum of average variable cost, in the short run the firm will: a. earn both economic and accounting profits. b. shut down. c. raise the price of its product. d. experience losses but will continue to produce rubber bands.

Answer:

Explained

Explanation:

In the given example, a profit-maximizing perfectly competitive firm is producing rubber bands. The average total cost of producing is higher than the price per unit of the product. The firm will be incurring a loss. But the average variable cost is lower than price. This means the price is able to cover variable costs.  

The firm in this situation will continue to produce in the short run, Though in the long run if the price is still lower than the average total cost the firm will exit the market because of incurring losses.

A small object begins a free-fall from a height of =81.5 m at 0=0 s . After τ=2.20 s , a second small object is launched vertica
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

33.2 m

Explanation:

For the first object:

y₀ = 81.5 m

v₀ = 0 m/s

a = -9.8 m/s²

t₀ = 0 s

y = y₀ + v₀ t + ½ at²

y = 81.5 − 4.9t²

For the second object:

y₀ = 0 m

v₀ = 40.0 m/s

a = -9.8 m/s²

t₀ = 2.20 s

y = y₀ + v₀ t + ½ at²

y = 40(t−2.2) − 4.9(t−2.2)²

When they meet:

81.5 − 4.9t² = 40(t−2.2) − 4.9(t−2.2)²

81.5 − 4.9t² = 40t − 88 − 4.9 (t² − 4.4t + 4.84)

81.5 − 4.9t² = 40t − 88 − 4.9t² + 21.56t − 23.716

81.5 = 61.56t − 111.716

193.216 = 61.56t

t = 3.139

The position at that time is:

y = 81.5 − 4.9(3.139)²

y = 33.2

A cyclist traveling at constant speed of 12m/s when he passes a stationary bus.The bus starts moving just as the cyclist passes
Bogdan [553]

Answer:

A.) 8 seconds

B.) 16 seconds

C.) 48 m

Explanation:

Given that a cyclist traveling at constant speed of 12 m/s

and the bus accelerates uniformly at 1.5ms²

A.) The bus has the following parameters

Acceleration a = 1.5 m/s^2

Initial velocity U = 0. Since the bus is starting from rest.

Final velocity V = 12 m/s

Use equation one of linear motion.

V = U + at

Substitute V, U and a into the formula

12 = 0 + 1.5t

1.5t = 12

t = 12/1.5

t = 8 seconds

Therefore, the bus reach the same speed as the cyclist at 8 seconds.

B.) For the cyclist moving at constant speed, acceleration a = 0. Using second equation of motion

h = Ut + 1/2at^2

Since a = 0, the equation is reduced to:

h = Ut.

Also, for the bus,

h = Ut + 1/2at^2

Equate the two equations since the h is the same

Ut = Ut + 1/2at^2

Substitute all the parameters into the formula

12t = 0 + 1/2 × 1.5t^2

12t = 0.75t^2

0.75t = 12

t = 12/0.75

t = 16 seconds

Therefore, the bus takes 16 seconds to catch the cyclist

C.) Use third equation of linear motion.

V^2 = U^2 + 2as

Where s = distance

Substitute V, U and a into the formula

12^2 = 0 + 2 × 1.5 S

144 = 3S

S = 144/3

S = 48 m

Earthquake damage causes two rabbits to be separated from the rest of the rabbits in their large habitat. They have no way to ge
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

<em>A.The rabbits in the new habitat will have lower genetic variation than the rabbits in the original habitat. </em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

If two animals of opposite sex are isolated from a larger group of animal, and made to reproduce. They will produce offspring with similar genetic makeup. If this offspring still remain isolated, and continue to interbreed within themselves for a number of consecutive generations, their offspring will all be very closely related genetically. Situations like this just as with the two rabbits in the question leads to a lower genetic variation within the offspring of the two animals.

Animals need to reproduce within a larger group in order to increase genetic variation. Increasing genetic variation reduces the risk of been sucked into a gene pool. A lower genetic variation reduces the fitness of the animals involved. It is only an advantage in cases in which the the original pair are resistant to a deadly disease. In this case all the offspring also develop this immunity. Mostly the effects of a lower genetic variation leaves negative impacts, and animals try to avoid this by preferring to interbreed with unrelated partner
