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.

How long does it take for an airplane to change its velocity from 140 m/s to 180 m/s if its
kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

Explanation:

a = 4ms⁻²,  Vf = 180 m/s  &  Vi = 140m/s

a = \frac{Vf-Vi}{t}

4 = \frac{180-140}{t}

t = 40/4

t = 10sec

To Measure Distance Use third Equation of Motion:

2aS = Vf²-Vi²

S = \frac{180*180 - 140*140}{2(4)}

S = 12800/8 = 1600m
