The most significant distinction between a PC company and a monopoly is that the monopoly has a downward-sloping demand curve rather than the " perceived " perfectly elastic curve of the PC company.

In competitive markets, a firm faces a perfectly elastic supply of labour which corresponds with the wage rate and the marginal resource cost of labour ( W = S L = MFC L ).

The ball could have collided with the earth in a perfectly elastic manner, but the mass of the earth made its movement imperceptible . Preceding talk ) 17 : 02, 5 July 2008 ( UTC)

The " molecules " as distinct from atoms of a gas or liquid rarely experience perfectly elastic collisions because kinetic energy is exchanged between the molecules translational motion and their internal degrees of freedom with each collision.
35.
:This answer assumes the balls are indestructible and perfectly elastic and that the strings are longer than 1900km ( h = \ frac { v ^ 2 } { 2g } ) in order to contain the kinetic energy.
36.
On the other hand, the money supply curve is a horizontal line if the central bank is targeting a fixed interest rate and ignoring the value of the money supply; in this case the money supply curve is perfectly elastic.
37.
It is told in many variants, including a spherical horse in a vacuum, from a joke about a physicist who said he could predict the winner of any horse race, provided it involved perfectly elastic spherical horses moving through a vacuum.
38.
Wallis, Christopher Wren, and Christian Huygens sent correct and similar solutions, all depending on what is now called the conservation of momentum; but, while Wren and Huygens confined their theory to perfectly elastic bodies ( elastic collision ), Wallis considered also imperfectly elastic bodies ( inelastic collision ).

:: : : Let's just make some assumptions to simplify things here . a ) Assume all the momentum transfered from the meteorite to the Earth is transfered to the Earth's angular momentum about the centre of mass ( it hits a cliff ) . b ) Assume the collision is perfectly elastic.

Two years later, Maupertuis cites Euler's 1744 work as a " beautiful application of my principle to the motion of the planets " and goes on to apply the principle of least action to the lever problem in mechanical equilibrium and to perfectly elastic and perfectly inelastic collisions ( see the 1746 publication below ).
