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..

You are in a planet where the acceleration due to gravity is known to be 3.28 m/s^2. You drop a ball and record that the ball ta
notsponge [240]
B) 7.87 m/s

The gravitational pull is the rate of change of velocity which is the acceleration. Formula for acceleration is;
a =  \frac{final \: velocity - initial \: velocity}{time \: taken}

Given:

• Initial velocity = 0m/s; I dropped the ball, and didn't throw it, so it was at rest firstly
• Time taken = 2.40s
• Acceleration = 3.28m/s^2

We're require to find the final velocity, at which the ball hit the ground with. Ignoring air resistance, keep in mind that the velocity of an object increases as it comes closer to the ground.

3.28  =  \frac{final \: velocity - 0}{2.40}
3.28 \times 2.40 = final \: velocity
final \: velocity = 7.872 \frac{m}{ {s} }

If you place bean seeds between moist paper towels and watch the stems and leaves appears,you will see a demonstration of??
Alenkinab [10]
<span>Germination Germination is the procedure of seeds forming into new plants. To start with, ecological conditions must trigger the seed to develop. For the most part, this is controlled by how profound the seed is planted, water accessibility, and temperature. At the point when water is abundant, the seed loads with water in a procedure called imbibition.</span>

When did the ball fly farther—when it hit the moving bat or the bat that did not move?
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

when it hit the moving bat

Explanation:

force equals mass times acceleration which means the moving bat will add more force to the ball.
