Outline 2 benefits to consumers of non-price competition.

tolosenc

In oligopoly, at the point of price rigidity, firms compete not on grounds of price but on other qualities, such as special offers and after-sales service.
Special offers can be, for example, special prices for buying in bulk eg 3 for 2 offers.
After-sales service can be things like warranties, which allow the consumer to...
F*** it, I've lost interest.

I guess I get to ask a question now, do I?
State Newton's second law of motion.

rjt

Newton's Second law states that when a force acts on an object, the rate of change of the momentum of an object is directly proportional to the force applied, and occurs in the same direction as the force.

Chem/Physics question: State Boyle's law (and Charles' law if you feel like it :P).

Non-price competition can include the sponsorship of public events such (eg sports). Without such sponsorship these events may not take place at all. Hope that helps you!

Boyle's Law: The pressure of a fixed mass of gas at constant temperature is inversely proportional to its volume.

Charles' Law: The volume of a fixed mass of gas is proportional to its temperature on the absolute scale, at fixed pressure.

PV=nRT?

I'm not sure if that's right, actually I think that's the universal one when you combine Boyle's law and Charles' law isn't it?

Hmm...

I'm thinking pressure is inversely proportional to volume for Boyle's law and pressure is directly proportional to temperature for Charle's law.

JC 2K3

Damn you nedward!

Oh well, your answer was straight out of a textbook compared to my sloppy effort.

I don't do Business so the only thing that comes into my head for that question is "With a pricing gun", which is probably very incorrect indeed....

Yeah, this is the equation of state of an ideal gas (and is Boyle's law, Charles' law and Avagadro's law combined).

The 1886 one wasn't passed.

EDIT: Actually, to be pedantic about it, it's 1893, 1914 and 1920, the years they all passed.(I left out the 1920 one by mistake and said the date of introduction(1912) and the date of passing(1914) of the 1914 act in my first answer.

GEOGRAPHY: what is eustatic movement, and where can examples be found?

Nehpets

Since no one answered and I don't do geography I'll just ask a new question.

Physics// Define an Ampere

JC 2K3

lol, hardest definition on the course!

Let's see....

If two parallell conductors of infinite length, A and B, are placed 1m apart and A puts a magnetic force of 1N on B then there is said to be a current of 1 Ampere flowing through A.

Something like that anyway...

EDIT: Yeah it's not correct, I won't just post what I found out from Wikipedia though, that'd be cheating.

Nehpets

I feel like answering it because I only learnt it today, but I won't I will tomorrow to see if I remember it (if noone else does)

Naikon

The Ampere is that current which when flowing in two infinitely long parallel conductors of negligible cross-sectional area, one meter apart in a vacuum, will produce a force on each other of 2x10^-7 Newtons per meter of each conductor.
Its a pretty long and drawn out definition.
I learned it off in a few minutes:D

Nehpets

ask a question!

JC 2K3

lol, word for word.

Your question.

Nehpets

State Coloumbs Law

Naikon

My head hurts:(
Gah...I need sleep.
Gotta go but I will leave this:

"define and give two examples of the doppler effect"

Naikon

"the force between two point charges is directly proportional to the product of the charges and inversaly proportional to the square of the distance between them"

Explain how plate tectonics has aided our understanding of volcanic activity?

JC 2K3

Coulombs law is "F is proportional to (Q1)(Q2)/d^2"

Doppler effect is apparent frequency of a wave source differing to the actual frequency due to velocity of the source being different to the velocity of the observer.

Examples: Ultrasound, pitch of an ambulance's siren changing as it moves.

genericgoon

Tectonics question: mention the theory of tectonics: plates in constant motion due to convection currents etc etc then say plates thus in contact with each other then explain how different plate boundaries create earthquakes eg neuteral ones get caught on each other pressure builds up and then slip releasing shockwaves. basically say what tectonics is and then say how earthquakes happen linking them by saying because of tectonics plates in moving to away or in parallel.

em.. a cotyledon is a food store in a seed? crap I don't know exactly. Something to do with the leaf etc

genericgoon

cotyledon a leaf inside seed modified into food source i think

as for the types monocot plants eg grasses have one while dicots have two eg peas. Our teacher always uses the peas to show them cause its easy to see the 2 cotyledons

havent heard of revenue buoyancy before,

enterprise is unique because, its the only factor that can earn a negative return, only factor that is not guaranteed any return its earnings are residual, the earnings of enterprise can vary enormously.

q2 it depends on the market structure.

couldnt be bothered answering the rest.

define the income and substitution effect in economics?

The substitution effect is the increase in demand fo a good due to a fall in price.
The income effect is the increased demand for a good due to an increase in consumers disposable income.
It's 1984.
Revenue bouyancy is where reciepts from taxation are greater then planned for in budget. This can lead to fiscal drag.

Here is a tough one, how many of the economists in the history of economic thought section were either a) professors at cambridge or b) worked in the east india trading company.

Oh a bit of trivia. What do george orwell and J.M keynes have in common.

Nervous = electrical (chemical when crossing synapses), fast acting, short lived travel quickly

Hormonal = chemical, long lasting, slow transmission, can have widespread effect.

This thread gets rather confusing. Do you think we could implement a sort of system where if you don't know the answer to the last question, you don't add another. So that only one question is going at any one time? So you only add a post if you know the answer to only the previous question, and only if you do that subject.

1. Director of equality investigates complaints made by employees who have been discriminated against in the workplace, within 6 months of the incident happening.

2. He decides if the case should be refered to an equality mediation officer or and equality officer.

3. The director makes the final decisions in all cases.

4. If the director finds there is discrimination, he can order the employee to be given REDRESS (equal pay immediately for up to 3 years, or equal treatmeny immediately and pay compensation for up to 2 years)

What is an ideal gas and why do real gases deviate from ideal behaviour?

Citizen_Erased

An ideal gas is one that obeys all the assumptions of the kinetic theory of gases under all conditions of temperature and pressure . Real gas difer from this because of the forces that exist between molecules and the volume of the molecules are not negligible.
