Answer to Question 1:

The behaviour of the students who hastily write what they consider a "C" level essay after being repeatedly told they can't make an "A" or "B" is a consequence of Reinforcement.

The answer, therefore, is D.

Explanation:

Reinforcement in behavioural psychology refers to the process of encouraging or entrenching a belief system or pattern of behaviour. It can also be defined as any stimuli which stimulate a thought pattern and engrains the probability of a specific response to a particular stimulus. Reinforcements are usually more effective when it comes from a person of perceived to be in a position of authority.

The high school students were verbally programmed by the instructor, who has the authority to mark their scripts, into thinking they will never be able to make an "A" or a "B".  The result is that the students didn't even try to put in efforts that would have led to an A or a B because even if they did, the instructor has the power to ensure that no one score an "A" or a "B".

The challenge here is not that the students couldn't write "A" grade essays. In their mind, there was no point trying given that the ability lay with the instructor to ensure that what he said will happen. In any case, the instructors intended behavioural response was achieved.

2. The correct answer to the question of Acquisition and Extinction as indicated on the graph is B.

The strength of the response increases then decreases over time.

Acquisition happens when a neutral stimulus turns into a conditioned stimulus.

When a behavior begins to diminish or even disappear completely as a result of the gradual removal of a conditioned response,  extinction is said to have occurred.

Cheers!

APHG Question-
Makovka662 [10]

Answer: Look at the explanation.

Explanation: An environmental consequence could be our land. The more land we use for agriculture results in loss of biodiversity. Slash-and-burn kills many trees and plant life. These trees are home to many small animals and now they are homeless and will die unless they adapt and find a new land. A social consequence could be food deserts. Food deserts are caused by and increase poverty and starvation. Nonexistent stores in rural areas do not help the population. People starve and barely have another way of getting healthy food. They rely on fast food chains which do not help with health.

A capacity of wind farm is 3 gigawatts (GW). Assuming that the power plant can operate at full capacity for 5,000 hrs/yr, how ma
den301095 [7]

Answer:

1.5x10^10 KWh

Explanation:

Data obtained from the question include:

Power (P) = 3GW

We need to convert 3 gigawatts (GW) to Kilowatts (KW) in order to obtain the desired result. This is illustrated below:

1 GW = 1x10^6 KW

Therefore, 3 GW = 3x10^6 KW

Time (t) = 5000 hrs/yr

Energy (E) =?

Power is simply the amount of energy transferred per unit time. It can be expressed mathematically as:

Power (P) = Energy (E) / Time (t)

P = E/t

Applying the above formula, we can calculate the energy in kWh of electricity that can be produced by the plant in one year. This is illustrated below:

P = E/t

3x10^6 KW = E / 5000 hrs/yr

Cross multiply to express in linear form as shown below:

E = 3x10^6 KW x 5000 hrs/yr

E = 1.5x10^10 KWh

Therefore, 1.5x10^10 KWh of electricity can be produced by the plant in one year.
