a. at the intersection with the supply curve.
b. anywhere to the right of the current market price.
c. above the point of unit elasticity.
d. below the point where total revenue is maximized.
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

a. A 200 kg piece of silver is placed at the end of a 2.5 m tree branch.
b. A 20 kg piece of marble is placed at the end of a 25 m construction crane arm.
c. A 8 kg quartz rock is placed at the end of a 62.5 m thin titanium rod.
d. The torque is the same for two cases.
e. The torque is the same for all cases.
Answer:
e. The torque is the same for all cases.
Explanation:
The formula for torque is:
τ = Fr
where,
τ = Torque
F = Force = Weight (in this case) = mg
r = perpendicular distance between force an axis of rotation
Therefore,
τ = mgr
a)
Here,
m = 200 kg
r = 2.5 m
Therefore,
τ = (200 kg)(9.8 m/s²)(2.5 m)
τ = 4900 N.m
b)
Here,
m = 20 kg
r = 25 m
Therefore,
τ = (20 kg)(9.8 m/s²)(25 m)
τ = 4900 N.m
c)
Here,
m = 8 kg
r = 62.5 m
Therefore,
τ = (8 kg)(9.8 m/s²)(62.5 m)
τ = 4900 N.m
Hence, the correct answer will be:
e. The torque is the same for all cases.
The highest mountain on mars is olympus mons, rising 22000 meters above the martian surface. If we were to throw an object horizontaly off the mountain top, how long would it take to reach the surface? (Ignore atmospheric drag forces and use gMars=3.72m/s^2
a. 2.4 minutes
b. 0.79 minutes
c. 1.8 minutes
d. 3.0 minutes
Answer:
t = 1.81 min , the correct answer is c
Explanation:
This is a missile throwing exercise
The object is thrown horizontally, so its vertical speed is zero (voy = 0), let's use the equation
y = y₀ + [tex]v_{oy}[/tex] t - ½ g t²
the final height is y = 0 and the initial height is y₀ = 22000 m
0 = y₀ + 0 - ½ g t²
t = √y 2y₀ / g
let's calculate
t = √(2 22000 / 3.72)
t = 108.76 s
let's reduce to minutes
t = 108.76 s (1 min / 60 s)
t = 1.81 min
The correct answer is c

g As observed on earth, a certain type of bacteria is known to double in number every 24 hours. Two cultures of these bacteria are prepared, each consisting initially of one bacterium. One culture is left on earth and the other placed on a rocket that travels at a speed of 0.893c relative to the earth. At a time when the earthbound culture has grown to 256 bacteria, how many bacteria are in the culture on the rocket, according to an earth-based observer
Answer:
86.4 hrs
Explanation:
The amount of bacteria is initially 1
It doubles every 24 hrs.
After first 24 hrs, the amount = 2
After next 24 hrs = 4
After next 24 hrs = 8
After next 24 hrs = 16
After next 24 hrs = 32
After next 24 hrs = 64
After next 24 hrs = 128
After next 24 hrs = 256
Total time taken to reach 256 = 24 x 8 = 192 hrs
For the bacteria culture on the rocket that travels at a speed of 0.893c relative to the earth, this time is contracted by the relationship
t = t'(1 - ¥^2)^0.5
Where t is the contracted time =?
t' is the time on earth
¥ = v/c
Where v is the speed of the rocket
c is the speed of light
since v = 0.893c
¥ = 0.893
Substituting, we have
t = 192 x (1 - 0.893^2)^0.5
t = 192 x 0.2025^0.5
t = 192 x 0.45 = 86.4 hrs

Explanation:
The diagrammatic illustration that give a better view of what the question denote can be seen in the image attached below.
From the image attached below, let assume that the release point is the origin, then equation of the motion (x) is as follows:
[tex]x - x_o = u_xt[/tex]
[tex]\mathtt{x = u_xt \ \ \ since (x_o = 0)}[/tex] ---- (1)
the equation of the motion y is :
[tex]\mathtt{y - y_o =u_yt - 0.5 gt^2}[/tex]
[tex]\mathtt{y = u_yt-4.9t^2 \ \ \ since (y_o =0)}[/tex]
[tex]\mathtt{ 1= (u \ sin 40^0)t -4.9 \ t^2 }[/tex]
[tex]\mathtt{1 = 8 sin 40^0 t - 4.9 t^2}[/tex]
[tex]\mathtt{1 = 5.14t - 4.9t^2}[/tex]
[tex]\mathtt{4.9t^2 - 5.14t +1 = 0}[/tex]
By using the quadratic formula, we have;
[tex]\mathtt{ \dfrac{ -b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}} }[/tex]
where;
a = 4.9, b = -5.14 c = 1
[tex]= \mathtt{ \dfrac{ -(-5.14) \pm \sqrt{(-5.14)^2 - 4(4.9)(1)}}{2(4.9)}} }[/tex]
[tex]= \mathtt{ \dfrac{ 5.14 \pm \sqrt{26.4196 -19.6}}{9.8}} }[/tex]
[tex]= \mathtt{ \dfrac{ 5.14 \pm \sqrt{6.8196}}{9.8}} }[/tex]
[tex]= \mathtt{ \dfrac{ 5.14+ \sqrt{6.8196}}{9.8} \ \ OR \ \ \dfrac{ 5.14- \sqrt{6.8196}}{9.8}} }[/tex]

[tex]= \mathbf{ 0.791 \ \ OR \ \ 0.258} }[/tex]
In as much as the ball is traveling upward, then we consider t= 0.258sec.
From equation (1)
[tex]\mathtt{x = u_x(0.258)}[/tex]
[tex]\mathtt{x = ucos 40^0 (0.258)}[/tex]
[tex]\mathtt{x = 8 \ cos 40^0 (0.258)}[/tex]
[tex]\mathbf{x = 1.581 \ m}[/tex]
Thus, the child is 1.581 m far from the fence
The advantage of a hydraulic lever is A : it transforms a small force acting over a large distance into a large force acting over a small distance. B : it transforms a small force acting over a small distance into a large force acting over a large distance. C : it allows you to exert a larger force with less work. D : it transforms a large force acting over a large distance into a small force acting over a small distance. E : it transforms a large force acting over a small distance into a small force acting over a large distance.
Answer:
A) it transforms a small force acting over a large distance into a large force acting over a small distance.
Explanation:
The hydraulic lever works based on Pascal's law of transmission of pressure through a fluid. In the hydraulic lever, the pressure transmitted is the same.
Pressure transmitted P = F/A
where F is the force applied
and A is the area over which the force is applied.
This pressure can be manipulated on the input end as a small force applied over a small area, and then be transmitted to the output end as a large force over a large area.
F/A = f/a
where the left side of the equation is for the output, and the right side is for the input.
The volume of the displaced fluid will be the same on both ends of the hydraulic lever. Since we know that
volume V = (area A) x (distance d)
this means that the the piston on the input smaller area of the hydraulic lever will travel a greater distance, while the piston on the larger output area of the lever will travel a small distance.
From all these, we can see that the advantage of a hydraulic lever is that it transforms a small force acting over a large distance into a large force acting over a small distance.

Three capacitors C1 = 10.7 µF, C2 = 23.0 µF, and C3 = 29.3 µF are connected in series. To avoid breakdown of the capacitors, the maximum potential difference to which any of them can be individually charged is 125 V. Determine the maximum energy stored in the series combination.
Answer:
E = 1336.71875 J
Explanation:
We are given;. Capacitance of Capacitor 1; C1 = 10.7 µF
Capacitor 2; C2 = 23.0 µF
Capacitor 3; C3 = 29.3 µF
Supply voltage;V = 125 V
Formula for capacitance in series is;
Capacitors in series circuit: C(eq) = 1/C(1) +1/C(2) +1/C(3) .......
Thus, equivalent capacitance is;
C(eq) = (1/10.7) + (1/23) + (1/29.3) = 0.1711 µF = 0.1711 × 10^(6) F
Now, the formula for maximum energy stored is;
E = ½ × C(eq) × V²
E = ½ × 0.1711 × 10^(-6) × 125²
E = 1336.71875 J

Charge of uniform density (0.30 nC/m2) is distributed over the xy plane, and charge of uniform density (−0.40 nC/m2) is distributed over the yz plane. What is the magnitude of the resulting electric field at any point not in either of the two charged planes?
Answer: E = 39.54 N/C
Explanation: Electric field can be determined using surface charge density:
[tex]E = \frac{\sigma}{2\epsilon_{0}}[/tex]
where:
σ is surface charge density
[tex]\epsilon_{0}[/tex] is permitivitty of free space ([tex]\epsilon_{0} = 8.85.10^{-12}[/tex][tex]C^{2}/N.m^{2}[/tex])
Calculating resulting electric field:
[tex]E=E_{1} - E_{2}[/tex]
[tex]E = \frac{\sigma_{1}-\sigma_{2}}{2\epsilon_{0}}[/tex]
[tex]E = \frac{[0.3-(-0.4)].10^{-9}}{2.8.85.10^{-12}}[/tex]
[tex]E=0.03954.10^{3}[/tex]
E = 39.54
The resulting Electric Field at any point is 39.54N/C.
The magnitude of the resulting electric field at any point should be 28.2 N/C.
Calculation of the magnitude:Since the Charge of uniform density (0.30 nC/m2) should be allocated over the xy plane, and charge of uniform density (−0.40 nC/m2)should be allocated over the yz plane.
So,
E1
= σ1/2ε0
= 0.30e-9/(2*8.85e-12)
= 16.949 N/C
So, direction of E1 is +z
Now
E2 = σ2/2ε0
= 0.40e-9/(2*8.85e-12)
= 22.6 N/C
So, direction of E2 is -x
Now
E = √(E1*E1+E2*E2)
= √(16.949*16.949+22.6*22.6)
= 28.2 N/C

A charged capacitor and an inductor are connected in series. At time t = 0, the current is zero, but the capacitor is charged. If T is the period of the resulting oscillations, the next time, after t = 0 that the energy stored in the magnetic field of the inductor is a maximum is
Answer:
t = T / 2 all energy is stored in the inductor
Explanation:
The circuit described is an oscillating circuit where the charge of the condensation stops the inductor and vice versa, in this system the angular velocity of the oscillation is
w = √1/LC
2π / T =√1 / LC
T = 2π √LC
The energy is constant and for the initial instant it is completely stored in the capacitor
Uc = Q₀² / 2C
In the process, the capacitor is discharging and the energy is stored in the inductor until when the charge in the capacitors zero, all the energy is stored in the inductor
U = L I² / 2
in the intermediate instant the energy is stored in the two elements.
Since the period of the system is T for time t = 0 all energy is stored in the capacitor and for t = T / 2 all energy is stored in the inductor
After t = 0 the maximum energy stored in the magnetic field of the inductor is equal to [tex]U'=\dfrac{L I^{2}}{2}[/tex] for the time period, half of period of oscillation (t = T/2).
The given problem is based on the charging and discharging concepts of capacitor. An oscillating circuit is a circuit where the charge of the capacitor stops the inductor and vice versa, in this system the angular frequency of the oscillation is given as,
[tex]\omega =\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{LC}}\\\\\\\dfrac{2 \pi}{T} =\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{LC}}\\\\\\T = 2\pi \times \sqrt{LC}[/tex]
here, T is the period of oscillation.
Also, the energy stored in the capacitor is constant and for the initial instant it is completely stored in the capacitor. So, the energy stored is given as,
[tex]U =\dfrac{Q^{2}}{2C}[/tex]
here, C is the capacitance.
In the process, the capacitor is discharging and the energy is stored in the inductor until when the charge in the capacitors zero, all the energy is stored in the inductor. So, the expression for the energy stored in the inductor is,
[tex]U'=\dfrac{L I^{2}}{2}[/tex]
here, L is the inductance and I is the current.
Note :- The period of the system is T for time t = 0 all energy is stored in the capacitor and for t = T / 2 all energy is stored in the inductor.
Thus, we conclude that after t = 0 the maximum energy stored in the magnetic field of the inductor is equal to [tex]U'=\dfrac{L I^{2}}{2}[/tex] for the time period, half of period of oscillation (t = T/2).

A thick wire with a radius of 4.0 mm carries a uniform electric current of 1.0 A, distributed uniformly over its cross-section. At what distance from the axis of the wire, and greater than the radius of the wire, is the magnetic field strength equal to that at a distance 2.0 mm from the axis. distance
Answer:
8 mm
Explanation:
From the information given:
The Ampere circuital law can be used to estimate the magnetic field strength at two points when the distance is less than the radius and when the distance is greater than the radius.
when the distance is less than the radius ; we have:
[tex]B_1 = \dfrac{ \mu_o \times I \times r}{2 \times \pi \times \ d^2}[/tex]
when the distance is greater than the radius; we have:
[tex]B_2 = \dfrac{\mu_o \ \times I}{2 \ \times \pi \times R}[/tex]
Equating both equations together ; we have :
[tex]\dfrac{ \mu_o \times I \times r}{2 \times \pi \times \ d^2} = \dfrac{\mu_o \ \times I}{2 \ \times \pi \times R}[/tex]
[tex]\dfrac{1}{R}= \dfrac{r}{d^2}[/tex]
[tex]R= \dfrac{d^2}{r}[/tex]
where; d = radius of the wire and r = distance;
[tex]R =\dfrac{4^2}{2}[/tex]
[tex]R =\dfrac{16}{2}[/tex]
R = 8 mm
