In order to have a verified or reliable answer to this question, they should take the watch apart and test the mechanism to see what causes failure.

Answer: Option D

<u>Explanation: </u>

For dropping a similar watch to record results, we need to buy another one. So, it becomes expensive. And, calling the manufacturer will give accurate results, but no knowledge. It is like getting multiple choices by luck.

Consulting senior faculty won’t result in any progress, because they may not have conducted these. So, one should rip off the watch, and study the mechanism, and its limitations.  The testing of mechanism gives the actual results.

Answer: B) Drop a similar watch multiple times and record the results.

Explanation:

In order to have a verified or reliable answer to this question, investigators must drop a similar watch multiple times and record the results. By doing this and repeatedly getting the same result(s), they are able to determine that their answer is in fact true.

***<em> I would also like to note that I got this question right on a test. Cheers!</em>

If A &gt; B, under what condition is |A-BI=|A|- IB|? a. Vectors A and B are in opposite directions b. Vectors A and B are in the
kupik [55]

Answer:

b) Vectors A and B are in the same direction.

Explanation:

To understand this problem we will say that vector A has a magnitude of 5 units and vector B a magnitude of 3 units. In the subtraction of vectors the initial parts of vectors always bind together. And the vector resulting from the subtraction is traced from the end of the second vector (B) to the end of the first vector (A).

The length of the resultant vector will be 5 - 3 = 2

In the attached image, we analyze case a), b), and d)

For a)

As we can see in the attached image the resultant vector has a length of 8 units.

For d)

As we can see in the attached image the resultant vector has a length of 5.83 units.

For b)

The resultant vector has a length of 2 units.

Therefore the case given in b) is true

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..
