Is bread elastic or inelastic?

Inelastic It is inelastic because it is a necessity, which is a factor that determines price elasticity, bread is a staple diet around the world which makes it a need and therefore a necessity which is inelastic.


Are cereal companies inelastic or elastic?

no cereal companies are not inelastic because there is not a crucial demand for cereal if cereal companies were too raise the price of cereal to an ridiculously price there is a good chance that consumers will stop buying so that makes cereal elastic.........examples of inelastic companies are industries like pharmacuticals,oil , higene etc. things that we need.


What factors tend to make demand curves more price elastic?

Close substitutes, increased income, luxury goods, time. Addiction makes demand less elastic, (inelastic) ex. Cigarettes. As time increases more substitutes become available.


Why the demand of natural gas is inelastic?

inelastic commodities are those with few or no substitutes. The importance of natural gas as the current state are unparalleled and for that matter makes it inelastic, that however is only a short-run issue; in the long run other commodities like coal, and thermal energy would place the substitute role on natural gas thereby moving it to an elastic good. Natural gas would only be inelastic in the short-run


What is collision?

A collision is an isolated event in which two or more moving bodies (colliding bodies) exert forces on each other for a relatively short time.Although the most common colloquial use of the word "collision" refers to accidents in which two or more objects collide, the scientific use of the word "collision" implies nothing about the magnitude of the forces.Types of collisionsA perfectly elastic collision is defined as one in which there is no loss of kinetic energy in the collision. In reality, any macroscopic collision between objects will convert some kinetic energy to internal energy and other forms of energy, so no large scale impacts are perfectly elastic. However, some problems are sufficiently close to perfectly elastic that they can be approximated as such. An inelastic collision is one in which part of the kinetic energy is changed to some other form of energy in the collision. Momentum is conserved in inelastic collisions (as it is for elastic collisions), but one cannot track the kinetic energy through the collision since some of it is converted to other forms of energy.Collisions in ideal gases approach perfectly elastic collisions, as do scattering interactions of sub-atomic particles which are deflected by the electromagnetic force. Some large-scale interactions like the slingshot type gravitational interactions between satellites and planets are perfectly elastic.Collisions between hard spheres may be nearly elastic, so it is useful to calculate the limiting case of an elastic collision. The assumption of conservation of momentum as well as the conservation of kinetic energy makes possible the calculation of the final velocities in two-body collisions.


What makes a price elastic?

If a change or increase in price will affect demand. Elastic goods are usually those that the consumer does not NEED to purchase, such as luxury goods. When the producer increases price, demand will usually increase. Inelastic goods are those that the consumer needs to buy no matter what the price is, such as milk or salt. A sale or price increase won't affect the demand at all.

What is perfectlyinelastic collision?

I'm not sure what you mean by "stronger" A perfectly inelestic collision is an ideal event in which none of the kinetic energy of the colliding bodies id tranferred into them as vibrations of their own molecules, i.e. transformed into heat. In an elastic collision, which always happens in the real world, some, or even all, of the kinetic energy of the two objects will be transformed into heat vibrating their molecules. This means that in an inelastic cillision, the bodies final velocities will add up to less than the total velocities that had before the collision, In the ideal state of an inelastic collision though, the sum of their final velocities must equal the sum of their final velocities.
