Answer options:

A) Some connections are lost because critical stages of development were missed.

B) Some connections are lost so others can be strengthened.

C) Some connections are lost because of experimentation with drugs or alcohol.

D) Some connections are lost so that children become less dependent and are less tied to their parents.

Answer:

B) Some connections are lost so others can be strengthened.

Explanation:

Synaptic pruning refers to a natural process that occurs in the brain between childhood and adulthood. Extra synaptic connections are eliminated in order to increase the efficiency of neuronal communications. It is thought to be the brain’s way of removing connections that are no longer needed.

A horizontal clothesline is tied between 2 poles, 12 meters apart. When a mass of 4 kilograms is tied to the middle of the cloth
Olegator [25]

Answer:

T=26.03 N

Explanation:

Given that

Distance between poles = 12 m

Mass of block m= 4 kg

Sag distance = 5 m

Lets take tension in the clothesline is T.

The component of tension in vertical direction will be T cosθ.

By force balancing

2 T cosθ = 40

here tan\theta =\dfrac{5}{6}

θ=39.80°

2 T cos39.8 = 40

T=26.03 N
