b. Participation in group activity increases
c. Egocentricity prevails
d. Understand cause and effect

Piaget refers to the thought processes of the school-age period as concrete operations. Concrete operations involve logical thinking and an understanding of cause and effect. The egocentric view of the preschool child is replaced by the ability to understand the point of view of another person. Between 6 and 12 years of age, children prefer friends of their own sex and usually prefer the company of their friends to that of their brothers and sisters.

The preadolescent girl should have supplies for menstruation:

a. about 6 months after breast development begins.
b. when her friends are prepared for theirs.
c. before her first menstrual period.
d. as soon as she knows how heavy her flow is.

a. about 6 months after breast development begins.

It is very embarrassing for a preadolescent girl to go to an unrelated adult (such as a teacher) because she lacks supplies for her first menstrual period. Likewise, girls this age are usually horrified at the thought of purchasing supplies themselves. Waiting until she knows how heavy her flow is far too late, and relying on timing it when her friends are prepared is a mistake for two reasons: she should feel prepared on her own, plus her cycle and first menses may be far different from that of her friends. Finally, the growth spurt and breast development precede menstruation, which allows the parent to prepare her for the first period, although its exact onset cannot be predicted

physics

Determine the maximum kinetic energy of $\beta^{+}$ particles released when $_{6}^{11} \mathrm{C}$ decays to $_{5} ^{11} \mathrm{B}$. What is the maximum energy the neutrino can have? What is its minimum energy?

Verified answer

physics

The maximum energy that a bone can absorb without breaking depends on its characteristics, such as its cross-sectional area and its elasticity. For healthy human leg bones of approximately $6.0 cm^2$ cross-sectional area, this energy has been experimentally measured to be about 200 J. You are probably surprised at how small the answer to part (a) is. People obviously jump from much greater heights without breaking their legs. How can that be? What else absorbs the energy when they jump from greater heights? (How did the person in part (a) land? How do people normally land when they jump from greater heights?)
