first reason for using percentages rather than absolute amounts has to do with the affect a particular amount can have on demand. The example in our book refers to using dollars or pennies‚ in one instance the dollar amount leads to a demand that is elastic‚ however that same dollar amount in pennies would lead one to see that demand is inelastic. The amount is the same‚ regardless of the currency‚ therefore the demand should be the same too. This is one reason why economists use percentages. The second

energy in different types of 2D collisions. In order to do this‚ both an elastic and inelastic collision was conducted on an air table with pucks. A video was taken and analyzed to determine velocity‚ allowing for future finding of momentum and kinetic energy values. By finding these‚ it was possible to determine which kind of collision took place. With low values of change in momentum and kinetic energy that occurred in elastic collisions‚ it is understood that both are conserved in this type of collision
