A box is sliding up an incline that makes an angle of 14.0° with respect to the horizontal. the coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the surface of the incline is 0.180. the initial speed of the box at the bottom of the incline is 2.20 m/s. how far does the box travel along the incline before coming to rest?
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..
Explanation:
We know that the sky appears to us like a sphere called as celestial sphere which appears to rotate around an imaginary axis because of Earth's rotation. Since the axis cuts the celestial sphere at celestial poles all the object seems to circle around the celestial poles.
Condition 1: The stars rise and set perpendicular to the horizon
The observer is at the equator
Condition 2: The stars circle the sky parallel to the horizon
The observer is at the Pole of the Earth
Condition 3: The celestial equator passes through the zenith
The observer is at the equator
Condition 4: In the course of a year, all stars are visible
The observer is at the equator
Condition 5: The Sun rises on March 21 and does not set until September 21 (ideally)
The observer is at North Pole
Answer:
Explanation:
a. The equation of Lorentz transformations is given by:
x = γ(x' + ut')
x' and t' are the position and time in the moving system of reference, and u is the speed of the space ship. x is related to the observer reference.
x' = 0
t' = 5.00 s
u =0.800 c,
c is the speed of light = 3×10⁸ m/s
Then,
γ = 1 / √ (1 - (u/c)²)
γ = 1 / √ (1 - (0.8c/c)²)
γ = 1 / √ (1 - (0.8)²)
γ = 1 / √ (1 - 0.64)
γ = 1 / √0.36
γ = 1 / 0.6
γ = 1.67
Therefore, x = γ(x' + ut')
x = 1.67(0 + 0.8c×5)
x = 1.67 × (0+4c)
x = 1.67 × 4c
x = 1.67 × 4 × 3×10⁸
x = 2.004 × 10^9 m
x ≈ 2 × 10^9 m
Now, to find t we apply the same analysis:
but as x'=0 we just have:
t = γ(t' + ux'/c²)
t = γ•t'
t = 1.67 × 5
t = 8.35 seconds
b. Mavis reads 5 s on her watch which is the proper time.
Stanley measured the events at a time interval longer than ∆to by γ,
such that
∆t = γ ∆to = (5/3)(5) = 25/3 = 8.3 sec which is the same as part (b)
c. According to Stanley,
dist = u ∆t = 0.8c (8.3) = 2 x 10^9 m
which is the same as in part (a)
Answer:
5 no
Explanation:
actually the 4kg lying on table has no influence
it slides towards 4kg weight hung
as it has excess 2kg force
force=miu × m ×g
