Answer: Rational Choice Theory

Explanation:

What Is Rational Choice Theory?

Rational choice theory states that a person will try to maximize their benefits while reducing their losses using rational reasoning in making this rational choice .

This always correlate with their self-interest meaning they will choose to do what seems to be the best thing for them.

As someone goes for rational choice this will supposedly give them a feeling of fulfilment and maximum benefit.

Max wants the I-Pad but he doesn't have enough cash to buy and he also doesn't want to spend his savings that he has kept for ski trip so he probably wants to have both of these then he goes for something that looks rational to him.

Stealing an I-Pad will mean he gets to have both things his ski trip money will still be there and now he will also have an I-Pad

That is a maximum benefit for him without having lost his money.

You see a leaf falling to the ground with constant speed. When you first notice it, the leaf has initial total energy PEi + KEi.
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

B. PEi + KEi = PEf + KEf        

Explanation:

It is given that

A leaf falling to the ground before hitting the ground has an initial total energy  of PEi + KEi.

And the total final energy of the leaf after it hits the ground is PEf + KEf .

Since there is no air resistance, therefore the total energy is conserved.

According to the conservation of law of conservation of energy, energy is neither created nor it is destroyed. The energy  is always conserved. The initial energy will be equal to the final energy.

Thus the total energy of the leaf before hitting the ground and after hitting the ground will be equal.

Thus initial energy is equal to the final energy.

Hence the answer is ---

B. PEi + KEi = PEf + KEf

Joe rarely takes any work home, preferring to leave his work worries at the office. He is not ambitious and likes to have a lot
bixtya [17]

Answer:b. Joe is a Type B personality

Explanation:

Type B personality individuals are more relaxed , easy going and tolerant .

They don't restrain themselves, if they get the opportunity to have fun they will grab it with both hands irrespective of how much work they may have to face afterwards.

Unlike type A personality individuals who are always worried about time due to their sense of urgency they don't see a need to be having fun when there is a lot of work that still need to be done and they stress a lot due to their aggressive nature .They always want to get ahead of everyone , life is a competition to them.

In the above text Joe leaves his work at work because he is a type B personality they treasure their relaxation time and always want to use it to the maximum.

They don't real take life as competition or see a need to get ahead of everyone which can be seen in non ambitious Joe above .

People with Type B personality tend to be more tolerant of others than Type A individuals because they are not competitors but they are more reflective, experience lower levels of anxiety and display a higher level of imagination and creativity.
