tilt more vertically. When talking about elasticity‚ the term "flat" refers to curves that are horizontal; a "flatter" elastic curve is closer to perfectly horizontal. At the extremes‚ a perfectly elastic curve will be horizontal‚ and a perfectly inelastic curve will be vertical. Price elasticity of demand‚ also called the elasticity of demand‚ refers to the degree of responsiveness in demand quantity with respect to price. Consider a case in the figure below where demand is very elastic. There are

Debris from one collision causing a second‚ which creates still more debris and collisions. A socially optimal outcomes occurs when then the social maximal benefit equals social marginal cost meaning the surplus to society is maximized. At the same time efficient market equilibrium is needed where

In 1686 Sir Isaac Newton developed three laws of motion. These laws are involved in every single football play. Whether it is a kickoff‚ pass‚ run‚ or extra point inertia‚ force‚ acceleration‚ momentum‚ and impulse are involved. Newton’s first law is the law of inertia and it states a body continues in its state of rest or of uniform motion unless an unbalanced force acts upon it. Some actions effected by this law are a quarterback throwing a football‚ a running back or receiver running for a touchdown

particles making up a gas are too small to be visible‚ the jittering motion of pollen grains or dust particles which can be seen under a microscope‚ known as HYPERLINK http//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brownian_motionBrownian motion‚ results directly from collisions between the particle and air molecules. This experimental evidence for kinetic theory‚ pointed out by HYPERLINK http//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_EinsteinAlbert Einstein in 1905‚ is generally seen as having confirmed the existence of atoms and

has. Kinetic energy can also be transferred from one body to another in a collision‚ which can be elastic or inelastic. One example of an elastic collision would be one billiard ball striking another. Ignoring the friction between the balls and the table or any spin imparted to the cue ball‚ ideally the total kinetic energy of the two balls after the collision is equal to the kinetic energy of the cue ball before the collision. An example of kinetic energy is while we go to sleep our body is at rest

so they may approach and collide with each other. (Figure 1 on page 4 offers a “2-D” visual representation; some imagination is required J) Each cycle begins with a “bang” where the branes bounces from an instantaneous collision of the two branes. Collision is partially inelastic; hence energy is expended by

One Hundred and Fifty Questions 1. What two entities comprise a vector?-a vector is comprised of direction and magnitude. 2. What do you do with any vector that is not on either the x or y axis?-break it up into x and y components using trig‚ add up the components. 3. How are velocity and speed different?-velocity has a direction while speed does not. 4. What is the slope of the distance time graph? - Delta d/delta t. or distance over time. Rise over run. 5.
