Answer:

Janet stops parking in handicapped spaces after she gets a big parking ticket. - Positive Punishment

Peter’s recess is taken away to discourage him from getting into fights with the other children. - Negative Punishment

Ted increases paying his bills on time to avoid a late fee. - Negative Reinforcement

Sally increases the amount of work she completes to receive more pay. - Positive Reinforcement

Explanation:

In operant conditioning, the main principle is that behavior increases or decreases its frequency depending on whether it's reinforced or punished. A behavior can be reinforced by giving something the subject appreciates, like more pay for their work (positive reinforcement) or taking away something they dislike, like late fees (negative reinforcement). Punishments work the same way, you can give something the subject dislikes, like a parking ticket, (positive punishment) or taking away something they like recess for a child. (negative punishment).

Answer:

The magnitude of the resultant decreases from A+B to A-B

Explanation:

The magnitude of the resultant of two vectors is given by

$R=\sqrt{A^2 +B^2 +2AB cos \theta}$

where

A is the magnitude of the first vector

B is the magnitude of the second vector

$\theta$ is the angle between the directions of the two vectors

In the formula, A and B are constant, so the behaviour depends only on the function $cos \theta$ . The value of $cos \theta$ are:

- 1 (maximum) when the angle is 0, so the magnitude of the resultant in this case is

$R=\sqrt{A^2 +B^2+2AB}=\sqrt{(A+B)^2}=A+B$

- then it decreases, until it becomes 0 when the angle is 90 degrees, where the magnitude of the resultant is

$R=\sqrt{A^2 +B^2+0}=\sqrt{A^2+B^2}$

- then it becomes negative, and continues to decrease, until it reaches a value of -1 when the angle is 180 degrees, and the magnitude of the resultant is

$R=\sqrt{A^2 +B^2-2AB}=\sqrt{(A-B)^2}=A-B$
