Answer:
A - elastic since many other fast food items could be considered close substitutes.
Explanation:
The price elasticity of demand is how much the demand of the Big Macs will change due to a 1% change in price. Should the elasticity be greater than 1, the Big Macs will be elastic. Should it be less than 1, the Big Macs are inelastic.
Demand elasticity is calculated as the percentage change in quantity demanded divided by a percentage change in price.
Since Big Macs are (i) a luxury good, and (ii) have close substitutes (other burgers available at McDonalds and other fast food stores), we will say their elasticity is greater than 1.
This means that the demand of Big Macs will change due to a 1% increase in price due to the presence of close substitutes.
Gravity adds 9.8 m/s to the speed of a falling object every second.
An object dropped from 'rest' (v = 0) reaches the speed of 78.4 m/s after falling for (78.4 / 9.8) = <em>8.0 seconds</em> .
<u>Note:</u>
In order to test this, you'd have to drop the object from a really high cell- tower, building, or helicopter. After falling for 8 seconds and reaching a speed of 78.4 m/s, it has fallen 313.6 meters (1,029 feet) straight down.
The flat roof of the Aon Center . . . the 3rd highest building in Chicago, where I used to work when it was the Amoco Corporation Building . . . is 1,076 feet above the street.
Answer:
D
Explanation:
The least of the conditions that can result in fossilization would be <u>when an organism is a prey to several species.</u>
Fossils are remains or traces of organisms that have been geological preserved and a prey is an organism that is often hunted and serves as food to bigger organisms. <em>When an organism is eaten, the probability of it becoming a fossil becomes low. Unless such an organism is usually partially eaten by predators, there would not be any remains, let alone being fossilized.</em>
The correct option is D.
