The elastic portion of the downward-sloping straight-line demand curve lies:_______

Physics

Answer:

c. above the point of unit elasticity.

Explanation:

The elastic portion of the downward-sloping straight-line demand curve lies above the point of unit elasticity. Supply and demand are fundamental concept in economics. The demand curve shows how much of a good people will want at a different prices. The demands curves illustrates the intuition why people purchase a good for a lower price. For the demand curve, the price is always shown on the vertical axis and the demand curve is shown on the horizontal axis. Thus , the quantity demanded increases as the price gets lower. However, the price elasticity of the demand curve varies along the demand curve. This is because there is a key distinction between the gradient and the elasticity. The gradient which is the slope of the line is always the same in the demand curve but elasticity of the demand changes in the percentage of the quantity demand. Therefore, elasticity will vary along the downward-sloping straight - line demand curve. So,  in a downward-sloping straight-line demand curve, the elastic portion is usually above the  point of unit elasticity

Identify the conditions for an elastic collision in a closed system. Check all that apply.
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

In an elastic collision:

  • There is no external net force acting. Thus, Momentum before and after collision is equal. Momentum remains conserved.
  • Total energy always remains conserved as energy cannot be created nor destroyed. It can change from one form to another.
  • There is no lost due to friction in elastic collision. So the kinetic energy is also conserved.
  • Velocities may change after collision. If the masses are equal, the velocities interchange.

When one object is stationary:

Final velocity of object 1:

v₁ = (m₁ - m₂)u₁/(m₁ +m₂)

Final velocity of object 2:

v₂ = (2 m₁ u₁)/(m₁+m₂) =

  • Objects do not stick together in elastic collision. They stick together in inelastic collision.
  • One object may be stationary before the elastic collision.

Thus, conditions for an elastic collision:

  • Energy is conserved.
  • Velocities may change.
  • Momentum is conserved.
  • Kinetic energy is conserved.
  • One object may be stationary before the elastic collision.

Two machines do thae same may have different power why
marissa [1.9K]

The quantity work has to do with a force causing a displacement. Work has nothing to do with the amount of time that this force acts to cause the displacement. Sometimes, the work is done very quickly and other times the work is done rather slowly. For example, a rock climber takes an abnormally long time to elevate her body up a few meters along the side of a cliff. On the other hand, a trail hiker (who selects the easier path up the mountain) might elevate her body a few meters in a short amount of time. The two people might do the same amount of work, yet the hiker does the work in considerably less time than the rock climber. The quantity that has to do with the rate at which a certain amount of work is done is known as the power. The hiker has a greater power rating than the rock climber.

Power is the rate at which work is done. It is the work/time ratio. Mathematically, it is computed using the following equation.


Power = Work / time


or


P = W / t

High voltage power is often carried in wire bundles made up of individual strands. In your initial post to the discussion, discu
Firdavs [7]

Answer:

<em>There will  be a huge problem of holding the wire strands together, and the power losses will also be amplified.</em>

Explanation:

The force per unit length on two current carrying conductors, lying parallel to each other is proportional to the product of the current through the conductors, and inversely proportional to their distance apart. This force is attractive if the current flows through these conductors in the same direction, and is repulsive if it flows in the opposite direction.

For the strand of wire that make up a high voltage wire bundle, there will be a force of attraction pulling the wires closer to each other, and they will experience the maximum pulling force possible, since they lie next to each other. This force helps to hold these wires in a high tension wire strand together, limiting the area, and reducing "skin effect."

In the case that this wires in the wire strand acts in opposite of the known behavior, the wires will repel and push each other apart. This pushing apart will increase power loss due "skin effect" which is increased by an increase in exposed surface area of the wire strands. This will pose a big problem for high tension transmission.
