We have this equation in 1D. If the terms confuse you, just follow the math: m d v/ d t − F = 0 Multiply everything by d x, identify d x / d t = v, and integrate. You need only one constant of integration, E, and put it on the right side. The m and v term is called K (for "kinetic energy" or "energy of motion"). E is the energy ("total energy" or "total mechanical energy"). F isn't constant in general. The F integral is identified with the potential energy: U = − ∫ F d x Write down the resulting equation (the "energy conservation equation").

The Physics Club sells E = mc² T-shirts at the local flea market. Unfortunately, the club's previous administration has been losing money for years, so you decide to do an analysis of the sales. A quadratic regression based on old sales data reveals the following demand equation for the T-shirts: q = -2p2 + 33p (9 sps 15). Here, p is the price the club charges per T-shirt, and g is the number it can sell each day at the flea market. (a) Obtain a formula for the price elasticity of demand for E = mc? T-shirts. E = (b) Compute the elasticity of demand if the price is set at $9 per shirt. (Round your answer to two decimal places.) Interpret the result.
