Example of a situation that is in equilibrium?
Equilibrium occurs whenever the net force on an object is 0.
A basic example is a person standing up. This person is at equilibrium because the net force on them is 0, and they are not accelerating. The force of gravity is pulling them down at 9.81 meters per second, but the surface that they are standing upon is pushing back up at 9.81 meters per second as well (This is called the "normal" force). Therefore, the two forces cancel each other out and the net force is 0.
The same would be true in a situation where two people are pushing with equal force in opposite directions on a box.

Discomfort or dissonance occurs when a consumer holds conflicting thoughts about a belief or an attitude toward an object. When cognitive dissonance occurs after a purchase it is called post purchase dissonance.
Post purchase dissonance occurs because each of the alternatives considered by the consumer usually has both advantages and limitations. Post purchase typically increases as (1) the money value of the computer purchase increases, (2) the degree of similarity between items selected and items rejected increases, and (3) the relative importance of the decision increases1. Make a cross with the two sticks, with the shorter stick placed horizontally across the longer stick. Make sure that both sides of the cross piece is equal in width.
2. Tie the two sticks together with the string in such a way as to make sure that they are at right angles to each other. A good way to ensure that the joint is strong to put a dab of glue to stick it in place.
3. Cut a notch at each end of both sticks. Make it deep enough for the type of string you are using to fit in to. Cut a piece of string long enough to stretch all around the kite frame. Make a loop in the top notch and fasten it by wrapping the string around the stick. Stretch the string through the notch at one end of the cross-piece, and make another loop at the bottom. Stretch the string through the notch at one end of the loop at the bottom. Stretch the string through the notch at the other end of the cross-piece. Finish by wrapping the string a few times around the top of the stick and cutting off what you don't need. This string frame must be taut, but not so tight as to warp the sticks.
4. Lay the sail material flat and place the stick frame face down on top. Cut around it, leaving about 2-3cm for a margin. Fold these edges over the string frame and tape or glue it down so that the material is tight.
5. Cut a piece of string about 122 cm long. and tie one end to the loop at the other end of the string to the loop at the bottom. Tie another small loop in the string just above the intersection of the two cross pieces. This will be the kite's bridle, the string to which the flying line is attached.
6. Make a tail by tying a small ribbon roughly every 10cm along the length of string. Attach the tail to the loop at the bottom of the kite.
How does conditioning modify a behavior?
Conditioning allows for a behaviour to be triggered by a certain stimulus. The classic example is that of Pavlov's dogs, whereby dogs were conditioned to salivate upon hearing the sound of a bell because they had learnt to associate the bell with food.

Who was the winner in the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854?
It was Stephen Douglas who managed to get the Act passed. But it was a hollow victory.
His plan for letting the people of each state vote on the slavery issue (Popular Sovereignty) sounded fair enough. But he hadn't realized that every bully-boy in America would descend on each state in turn, as it went to vote.
Since Kansas was eventually declared free soil, you might say the slaves of Kansas were the winners. But there was terrible violence in 'Bleeding Kansas' in the meantime.
What is the traditional model of science?
Traditional model of science is comprised of three main elements: Theory, Operationalization and Observation.
Theory- An idea from which scientists derive testable hypotheses.
Operationalization- the process of developing operational definitions, or specifying the exact operations involved in measuring a variable.
Observation- Looking at aspects and making measurements on what what is seen.

Why is a marathon 26.2 miles emphisis on the 2. why 2?
In modern times, the marathon began as a 25 -mile race. At the 1908 Olympic Games

Explain why different ways of taking drugs cause diffent responses?
Taking drugs by inhalation causes a very rapid increase in the level of drug in the brain. Inhaled drugs are absorbed into the arterial bloodstream in the lungs and then pumped to all parts of the body including the brain. Taking drugs by intravenous (IV) injection also causes a rapid increase in the drug level in the brain. It is slightly slower than inhalation because the drug goes first to the right side of the heart, is then pumped to the lungs where the blood is oxygenated, then goes back to the left side of the heart, and finally to the brain and body. Absorption through the skin or mucous membranes would be even slower because the drug has a longer path to travel before being circulated throughout the body. Drug response would be the slowest after ingestion because the drug goes into the digestive tract and then must pass through the walls of the stomach and intestine to enter the blood capillaries.
