In the short run, consumers have fewer options to adjust their purchasing behavior, making demand more sensitive to price changes. In the long run, consumers have more time to find substitutes or adjust their budgets, making demand less elastic.
No. It's more elastic in the long run than the short run.
this was just covered in econ 201 today...people have less time to adapt and find substitute goods in the short-run, but as time passes they are able to find substitutes, making it more elastic.
Gasoline
Most of them are more elastic in the long run,because all factors of production are variable,not fixed.
Natural gas is inelastic in the short term because the amount of natural gas available does not tend to increase with demand. In the long run prices can become more elastic due to the ability to adjust your overall consumption of natural gas to match the supply.
No. It's more elastic in the long run than the short run.
The demand is elastic when the price is low. So people will buy more good so that it's demand will become more elastic. Moreover ,the demand is elastic when there are some new inventions.

A product is likely to be more elastic the more dispensable or unnecessary it is to the consumer. For instance, if the price increases and the product is elastic, the consumer will not demand as much because they can do without it.
elastic
the market demand for the product. undefined. more inelastic than the market demand for the product. more elastic than the market demand for the product
perfectly elastic demand the quantity change by infinitely large amount proportion due to the small change in price, is called perfectly elastic demand. perfectly inelastic demand the quantity demand doesn't change at all due to the change in price is called perfectly inelastic demand. relatively elastic demand the quantity demand changes by a little more percentage than the change in price is called relatively elastic demand. relatively inelastic demand the percentage change in quantity demand is less than the percentage change change in its price is called relatively inelastic demand unitary elastic demand the percentage change in quantity demand is equal to the percentage change in price is called unitary elastic demand
