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.

How does reflection differ from refraction and diffraction?
shtirl [24]

Answer: Reflection is the only process in which the wave does not continue moving forward.

Explanation:

Reflection is a process in which the direction of the wave changes when it is exposed to a bounce off barrier. Refraction can be defined as the change in the direction of the wave when the wave passes through one medium to another. Diffraction is a process in which the direction of the wave changes when the wave passes through a particular opening near the barrier.

If the crate shown here is moving at a constant speed in a straight line and the force applied is 310 N, what is the magnitude o
larisa86 [58]

Answer:

f_k = 310N

the answer is A.

Explanation:

Using the laws of newton:

∑F = ma

where ∑F is the sumatory of forces acting in the system, m the mass and a the acelertion of the system.

Then, if the block is moving with constant velocity, its aceleration is equal to 0, so:

∑F = m(0)

∑F = 0

It means that:

F -f_k = 0

where F is the force applied and f_k is the friction force. Replacing the value of F, we get:

310N -f_k = 0

Finally, solving for f_k:

f_k = 310N

What happens if an air conditioner is used in a house that is not well insulated and not well scaled? Explain in terms of energy
stira [4]
It will use a lot more energy (electricity) to cool down the room. Because heat energy from outside the room can easily transfer into the room again if the room is not well insulated. So more energy is needed to cool down the room again

Why do planets rings surround them and not the sun
Shalnov [3]

Well, the rings surrounding a planet are made out of rock. A ring surrounding the sun would be impossible since the sun can reach more than 27 million degrees Fahrenheit (15 million degrees Celsius.)

Hope this helped.
