How will each of the following changes in demand and/or supply affect equilibrium price and equilibrium quantity in a competitive market; that is, do price and quantity increase or decrease, or are the answers indeterminate because they depend on the magnitudes of the shifts?

The astronauts on the space shuttle flights experienced an acceleration of 29 m/s2 (about 3 "g's") during lift-off. what upward force must the astronaut's seat apply to the astronaut in order to cause this acceleration? assume the astronaut's mass is 70 kg, and compute this force when the acceleration is near the earth's surface so their weight equals latex: mg m g .

Suppose a force of 60 n is required to stretch and hold a spring 0.1 m from its equilibrium position. a. assuming the spring obeys hooke's law, find the spring constant k. b. how much work is required to compress the spring 0.5 m from its equilibrium position? c. how much work is required to stretch the spring 0.6 m from its equilibrium position? d. how much additional work is required to stretch the spring 0.1 m if it has already been stretched 0.1 m from its equilibrium? a. kequals 600
