What five factors that influence supply?

  1. The Income
  2. The expectations of people
  3. The customers' satisfacation
  4. The number of people buying something
  5. The price of the product

STORE

S = Subsidies and Taxes

T = Technology

O = price of Other related goods (jointly Supplied goods)

R = Resource cost

E = Expectation

What would happen if their was a shortage of books in a libary?

If there was a shortage of books at the library you would read all of them and have no books to read anymore.

Why is it important for economic production?

Assuming a company has been created for commercial purposes, then "productive" means that the people within the company are expected to deliver the goods or services for which the company was created. In order to create goods or deliver services individuals must be "productive". As to why it is "important" to be productive, the alternative to productive is non-productive, and the "non" also leads to non-income, non-profit and pretty quickly non-company!

What are factors affecting supply curve?

A change in supply (a shift in the supply curve) occurs whenever some factor that affects the supply of the good, other than its price, changes. Such variables include:

1. Prices of productive resources. A rise (fall) in the prices of resources shifts the supply curve leftward (rightward).

2. An increase in technology shifts the supply curve rightward.

3. An increase (decrease) in the number of suppliersshifts the supply curve rightward (leftward).

4. Prices of other goods produced, which have two possible relationships:

a) When the price of a substitute in production rises (falls), the supply curve for the good shifts leftward (rightward).

b) A rise (fall) in the price of a complement in production shifts the supply curve rightward (leftward).

5. If the expected future price of the product rises (falls), the supply curve in the present period shifts leftward (rightward).

A change in supply also affects the price and quantity of the product.

1. An increase in supply (a shift rightward of the supply curve) causes the price to fall and the quantity to increase.

2. A decrease in supply (a shift leftward in the supply curve) causes the price to rise and the quantity to decrease

What is the Cherokee form of hierarchy?

The Cherokee had two governments. One that governed during peaceful times, and one that governed during war. The hierarchy of the white government, which ruled during peace had the chief at the top. Next came advisers, counselors, elders, a speaker, messengers, and ceremonial officers. The red government had the great war chief, the great war chief's second, war counselors, a war woman, war speaker, messengers, ceremonial officers, and scouts.

Greek word for autumn?

The seasons were not personified by the Greeks. To them, autumn was the result of Persephone, the daughter of Demeter, resuming her place by the side of Hades, her husband, in the Underworld.

Which type of microscope would a scientist use to observe a living one celled organism?

A scientist would likely use a compound light microscope to observe a living one-celled organism. This microscope uses visible light to illuminate the specimen and allows for observing living organisms in real-time. Additionally, a phase contrast or differential interference contrast microscope could also be used to enhance the contrast of the specimen without staining.

How many wind belts does each hemisphere have?

Each hemisphere has three main wind belts: the polar easterlies near the poles, the westerlies in the mid-latitudes, and the trade winds near the equator. These wind belts are influenced by the rotation of the Earth and temperature differences between the equator and the poles.

How many full moons is there in the year?

In simplistic terms, the moon orbits the earth 13 times in a year. However, nothing is simplistic, in reality, the Moon will rotate around the Earth about 13.37 times.

How big is stentor?

Stentor is a genus of unicellular protozoans that can vary in size depending on the species. They typically range from 100 to 1000 micrometers in length, making them easily visible under a microscope.

Is salt a nonrenewable resource?

Salt is a vast renewable resource. It is constantly being mined and harvested from the ocean as well. Salt is a common seasoning used all over the world.

Why is tin foil shiny on one side?

i just watched your question on modern marvels episode is called aluminum, from what i can recall during the operation they put this big humongous spool of aluminum on a spindle it is very thick as it is compressed to desired specification few rollers compress the aluminum and the rolled side is the dull side leaving the opposite side shiny which is the non rolled side hope this helps or you can go to modern marvels and look up this episode on aluminum.

If you want to cook something you put the shiny side inwards, to radiate the heat inwards and your food cooks quicker and if you want to keep food cool, you put the siny side outwards to reflect the heat out wards.

===

According to the manufacturer, it does not matter which side faces the food.

--------------------

They're not going to tell you if they make something that's bad for your health and they make zillions out of it ?

The composition of aluminum foil is NOT 100% pure aluminum, as many people believe. The dull shiny side is caused by a reaction when it comes in contact with air. The aluminum foil reacts with oxygen in the air to form a thin layer of Aluminum Oxide on one side of the foil. Because rolls of aluminum foil are generally rolled tightly, the inner side of the aluminum foil is not exposed to the air as much, and it remains shiny. Aluminium is made from Bauxite a sedimentary rock formed in weathered volcanic rocks. When a volcanos erupts Fluorine gas escapes, the toxic yellow element is corrosive and is 'the most reactive' of all known elements known to man.

It is also the strongest neg charged anion, F- . Like a magnet is artacted to ferrous metals, mainly iron and steel at one end it is the energy at the other end.. F- is the neg energy in atomic struture that forms some interesting minerals though thermodynamics to make Fluorides such as fluorine-containing minerals, fluorite, Fluorapatite, Cryolite and is highly reactive with calcuium to form calcium fluoride. Most of these minerals that present in bauxite! Bauxite mined then crushed, then screened and stockpiled, ready for delivery to an alumina plant. In some cases, ore is upgraded by washing, size classification, and separation of liquids and solids as clay and silica. There are no dobt varied amounts of F- ion in Aluminium as it would depend on the amount they collected in the Bauxite..

In short, the composition of aluminum foil is aluminium (Al) AND some aluminium oxide which contains the tiny F- anion.

What is a homogeneous mixture whose particles are too small to reflect or scatter light?

A solution is a homogeneous mixture whose particles are too small to reflect or scatter light. A colloid is a heterogeneous mixture containing particles that are small enough to stay suspended but large enough to scatter light.

What makes things rust?

Rust is Simply oxidation.

It happens when Oxygen comes in contact with something and creates a chemical reaction.

This reaction creates "oxides".

Iron + oxygen = Iron oxide. (red rust on steel)

Aluminum + Oxygen = Aluminum Oxide. (Dull color on aluminum)

The way to stop rust is by preventing oxygen from reaching the surface. (creating a barrier between the surface and the atmosphere.) This can be done by plating the surface, or coating with a non-reactive substance like certain oils...
