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.

A force of 6600 N is exerted on a piston that has an area of 0.010 m2
sveticcg [70]

Answer:

Choice A: approximately 0.015\; \rm m^2, assuming that the two pistons are connected via some confined liquid to form a simple machine.

Explanation:

Assume that the two pistons are connected via some liquid that is confined. Pressure from the first piston:

\displaystyle P_1 = \frac{F_1}{A_1} = \frac{6.600\times 10^3\; \rm N}{1.0\times 10^{-2}\; \rm m^{2}} = 6.6\times 10^{5}\; \rm N \cdot m^{-2}.

By Pascal's Principle, because the first piston exerted a pressure of 6.6\times 10^{5}\; \rm N \cdot m^{-2} on the liquid, the liquid will now exert the same amount of pressure on the walls of the container.

Assume that the second piston is part of that wall. The pressure on the second piston will also be 6.6\times 10^{5}\; \rm N \cdot m^{-2}. In other words:

P_2 = P_1 = 6.6\times 10^{5}\; \rm N \cdot m^{-2}.

To achieve a force of 9.900 \times 10^3\; \rm N, the surface area of the second piston should be:

\displaystyle A_2 = \frac{F_2}{P_2} = \frac{9.900\times 10^{3}\; \rm N}{6.6\times 10^5\; \rm N \cdot m^{-2}} \approx 0.015\; \rm m^{2}.

A charge of 8.4*10^-4 moves at an angle of 35 degrees to a magnetic field that has a field strentgh of 6.7
12345 [234]

The force on a charged particle in a magnetic field is given by

the speed of the charged particle = 10842 m/s.

Explanation:

F= q V B sinθ

F=force=3.5 x 10⁻²N

q= charge= 8.4 x 10⁻⁴ C

B= magnetic field= 6.7 x 10⁻³ T

θ=35⁰

Thus the velocity is given by V=\frac{F}{q B sin35}

V=(3.5 x 10⁻²)/[(8.4 x 10⁻⁴)(6.7 x 10⁻³)(sin35)]

V=10842 m/s

2. What is the water pressure at a depth of 24 m in a lake? [Density of water, p = 1 000 kg m- and gravitational acceleration, g
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

Pressure = ρgh

pressure (p) is measured in pascals (Pa)

density (ρ) is measured in kilograms per metre cubed (kg/m3)

The fore of gravitational field strength (g) is measured in N/kg or m/s 2

height of column (h) is measured in metres (m)

Answer = 235,200 Pa

Explanation:

Pressure = ρgh

Pressure = 1,000 x 9.8 x 24

Pressure = 235,200 Pa
