Answer:

Inelastic

Explanation:

The price elasticity of demand is the degree of responsiveness of demand for a product or service to a unit change in price. The demand for a product is said to be elastic when a change in price has a relatively large effect on the demand for the product, unitary when there is a percentage change in price brings about an equal percentage change in the demand for the product, and inelastic when a change in the price of a product brings about a smaller change in the demand for the product.

In the case of the DVD rentals, a 10% increase in price brought about only a 5% drop in demand. Hence, the demand for DVD rentals is said to be inelastic because a change in the price brought about a smaller change in the demand for DVD rentals.

A miniature quadcopter is located at x = -2.25 m and y, - 5.70 matt - 0 and moves with an average velocity having components Vv,

kupik [55]

Recall that average velocity is equal to change in position over a given time interval,

$\vec v_{\rm ave} = \dfrac{\Delta \vec r}{\Delta t}$

so that the x-component of $\vec v_{\rm ave}$ is

$\dfrac{x_2 - (-2.25\,\mathrm m)}{1.60\,\mathrm s} = 2.70\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}$

and its y-component is

$\dfrac{y_2 - 5.70\,\mathrm m}{1.60\,\mathrm s} = -2.50\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}$

Solve for $x_2$ and $y_2$ , which are the x- and y-components of the copter's position vector after t = 1.60 s.

$x_2 = -2.25\,\mathrm m + \left(2.70\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)(1.60\,\mathrm s) \implies \boxed{x_2 = 2.07\,\mathrm m}$

$y_2 = 5.70\,\mathrm m + \left(-2.50\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)(1.60\,\mathrm s) \implies \boxed{y_2 = 1.70\,\mathrm m}$

Note that I'm reading the given details as

$x_1 = -2.25\,\mathrm m \\\\ y_1 = -5.70\,\mathrm m \\\\ v_x = 2.70\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\\\\ v_y=-2.50\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}$

so if any of these are incorrect, you should make the appropriate adjustments to the work above.

Answer the question in the picture make your response simple but to where it gives a full answer! I need a response ASAP!

Sveta_85 [38]

Answer: A river delta is a landform created by deposition of sediment that is carried by a river as the flow leaves its mouth and enters slower-moving or stagnant water. This occurs when a river enters an ocean, sea, estuary, lake, reservoir, or (more rarely) another river that cannot carry away the supplied sediment. The size and shape of a delta is controlled by the balance between watershed processes that supply sediment.
