The D.A.R.E. program (“Drug Abuse Resistance Education”) began in 1983. In this program, police officers taught special 45-minut

e lessons in classrooms about the dangers of drugs. However, the program was shown to have very little effect; there was only a small, short-term reduction in tobacco use, but no reduction in alcohol or marijuana use. Long-term rates of teen substance abuse did not change significantly.
In 1998, behavioral scientists began looking for different ways to teach this program. The new D.A.R.E. curriculum is called “keepin’ it REAL,” and students spend most of their time practicing refusal strategies with friends rather than being lectured on the possible effects of drugs. The “REAL” acronym stands for the four main strategies the students practice: Refuse, Explain, Avoid, and Leave. There is also much more emphasis on teaching students how to make safe and responsible decisions in all areas of life.

This approach has been shown to be much more effective. Studies of thousands of students show that those who have been through the program use drugs and alcohol less than students who have not been through the program. Additionally, those who were already abusing substances before beginning the program were more likely to stop using the substances. The effects on students’ antidrug attitudes also lasted much longer.

Based on the excerpt, which statement is true?

Antidrug campaigns have little effect on how much students use drugs.
Lots of students use tobacco, but very few use alcohol or marijuana.
Antidrug campaigns can help prevent substance abuse, but cannot reduce it.
Practicing refusal strategies can help students stay sober.

If 28.0 J of work is done by an external force to move a charge from a potential of 8.0 V 8.0 V to a potential of 4.0 V , 4.0 V,
jonny [76]

Answer:

Change in electric potential energy is -28.0 J

Explanation:

Electric potential energy is defined as the work is done to move a charge particle from one position to another in space in the presence of other charge particle or electric potential.

                                               OR

Electric potential energy is also equal to the change in the configuration of the charge particles.

Thus,

Change in electric potential energy = - Work Done

According to the problem, Work Done is equal to 28 J. Thus,

Change in electric potential energy = -28 J

Monochromatic light falls on two very narrow slits 0.048 mm apart. successive fringes on a screen 5.00 m away are 6.5 cm apart n
atroni [7]
In a double-slit interference experiment, the distance y of the maximum of order m from the center of the observed interference pattern on the screen is
y= \frac{m \lambda D}{d}
where D=5.00 m is the distance of the screen from the slits, and 
d=0.048 mm=0.048 \cdot 10^{-3}m is the distance between the two slits.
The fringes on the screen are 6.5 cm=0.065 m apart from each other, this means that the first maximum (m=1) is located at y=0.065 m from the center of the pattern.
Therefore, from the previous formula we can find the wavelength of the light:
\lambda =  \frac{yd}{mD}= \frac{(0.065 m)(0.048 \cdot 10^{-3}m)}{(1)(5.00 m)}=  6.24 \cdot 10^{-7}m

And from the relationship between frequency and wavelength, c=\lambda f, we can find the frequency of the light:
f= \frac{c}{\lambda}= \frac{3 \cdot 10^8 m/s}{6.24 \cdot 10^{-7}m}=4.81 \cdot 10^{14}Hz

What do you mean by kinetic energy and potential energy ?
Verizon [17]

  • Kinetic Energy of an object is the measure of the work an object can do by virtue of its motions..

  • Formula - KE = 1/2 mv^2

  • Where KE is the kinetic energy, m is the body’s mass, and v is the body’s velocity.

  • Potential energy is the stored energy in any object or system by virtue of its position or arrangement of parts..

  • Formula - W = mgh

Where,

. m is the mass in kilograms

. g is the acceleration due to gravity

. h is the height in meters

A sound wave from a police siren has an intensity of 100.0 W/m² at a certain point; a second sound wave from a nearby ambulance
Irina18 [472]

The sound level of the sound wave due to the ambulance is 140.

<h3>What do you mean by sound?</h3>

In terms of physics, the sound is a vibration that travels through a transmission medium like a gas, liquid, or solid as an acoustic wave. Sound is the reception of these waves and the brain's perception of them in terms of human physiology and psychology. Only acoustic waves with frequencies between roughly 20 Hz and 20 kHz, or the audio frequency range, can cause a human to have an auditory sensation. These are sound waves with wavelengths ranging from 17 meters (56 ft) to 1.7 millimeters in the air at atmospheric pressure (0.67 in). Ultrasounds are sound waves with a frequency higher than 20 kHz that are inaudible to humans. Infrasound refers to sound frequencies below 20 Hz. Animals of different species have different hearing ranges.

How can you determine the rate of a chemical reaction?
DanielleElmas [232]
Take a look at a simple reaction like the one below:

In this reaction some reactant A is turned into some product B. The rate of reaction can be represented by a decrease in concentration of A over time or as the increase of B over time. This is written:
