Which of the following is an accurate description of synaptic pruning?

Physics
1 answer:
Lemur [1.5K]2 years ago
6 0

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.

When you attract every object in the universe with a force that is proportional to the mass of the objects and to the distance b
yuradex [85]

When you attract every object in the universe with a force that is proportional to the mass of the objects and to the distance between them, we are obeying Newton's law of universal gravitation.

<h3>Newton's law of universal gravitation</h3>

Newton's law of universal gravitation states that the force of attraction between two masses in the universe is directly proportional to the product of the masses and inversely proportional to the the square of the distance between them.

The mathematical interpretation of the above law is

  • F ∝Mm/r²

Removing the proportionality sign,

  • F = GMm/r².

Where:

  • F = Force of attraction
  • G = Gravitational constant
  • M = Bigger mass
  • m = Smaller mass
  • r = Distance between the masses.

From the above, When you attract every object in the universe with a force that is proportional to the mass of the objects and to the distance between them, we are obeying Newton's law of universal gravitation.

A thin film of cryolite ( nc = 1.34 ) is applied to a camera lens ( ng = 1.58 ). The coating is designed to reflect wavelengths
rosijanka [135]

Answer:

=99.07nm

Explanation:

minimum thickness

2nd = (m  - 1/2)λ

d = (m - 1/2)(λ/2n)

refractive index of the thin film, n = 1.34

minimum thickness m = 1

light wavelength λ = 531nm

d = (1 - 1/2) (531 / (2)(1.34)

d = 531/5.36

  =  99.07nm
