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

erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

The voltage across the resistor is zero, and the voltage across the capacitor is equal to the terminal voltage of the battery.

Explanation:

This is because when a capacitor is charged no current or voltage flows through it so it will have a voltage equal to the terminal voltage of the battery

A tank contains gas at 13.0°C pressurized to 10.0 atm. The temperature of the gas is increased to 95.0°C, and half the gas is re

fomenos

Answer:

The pressure of the remaining gas in the tank is 6.4 atm.

Explanation:

Given that,

Temperature T = 13+273=286 K

Pressure = 10.0 atm

We need to calculate the pressure of the remaining gas

Using equation of ideal gas

$PV=nRT$

For a gas

$P_{1}V_{1}=nRT_{1}$

Where, P = pressure

V = volume

T = temperature

Put the value in the equation

$10\times V=nR\times286$ ....(I)

When the temperature of the gas is increased

Then,

$P_{2}V_{2}=\dfrac{n}{2}RT_{2}$ ....(II)

Divided equation (I) by equation (II)

$\dfrac{P_{1}V}{P_{2}V}=\dfrac{nRT_{1}}{\dfrac{n}{2}RT_{2}}$

$\dfrac{10\times V}{P_{2}V}=\dfrac{nR\times286}{\dfrac{n}{2}R368}$

$P_{2}=\dfrac{10\times368}{2\times286}$

$P_{2}= 6.433\ atm$

$P_{2}=6.4\ atm$

Hence, The pressure of the remaining gas in the tank is 6.4 atm.

The amplitude of a simple harmonic oscillator will be doubled by:a) doubling only the initial speedb) doubling the initial displ

OLEGan [10]

Answer:

When both initial speed and initial displacement is doubled then amplitude will be doubled.

Explanation:

Given that :- Amplitude of simple harmonic Oscillator is doubled.

So,

Formula of Simple harmonic oscillator is $X=A\sin\ (2\pi ft +\phi)$ ...........(1)

Where X = Position in (m,cm,km.....)

A = Amplitude in (m,cm,km.....)

F = Frequency in (Hz)

T = Time in (sec.)

Ф = Phase in (rad)

For initial displacement taking t=0 we get,

Initial displacement = $A\sin(\phi)$ .................(2)

Now taking equation (1) and differentiating it w.r.t to (t) we get

$\frac{dx}{dt} = 2\pi fA\cos\ (2\pi ft+\phi)$

$V= 2\pi fA\cos\ (2\pi ft+\phi)$

taking t=0 for initial speed then we get,

Initial speed = $2\pi fA\cos\phi$ ...............(3)

observing equation (2) & (3) that the initial displacement and initial speed depends on the Amplitude of the Oscillator.

Hence,

when both initial speed and displacement is doubled then amplitude will be doubled.

Answer:

Friction

Explanation:

As the toy cars rolls away, more friction is created. The more friction there is, the more friction on surface rubs against another which creates friction which in-term slows it down. Hope this helps.
