the number system of the Indo-Aryans
You can choose "in cattle" as the answer for "How did the early Indo-Aryans measure their wealth?"
The highest caste in the Indian caste system was the group of priests. They held the highest social and religious status and were responsible for performing rituals, studying the Vedas, and maintaining religious traditions. This caste, known as the Brahmins, was considered the intellectual and spiritual elite of society.
The Vedas are sacred hymns in the language of Sanskrit. They form the oldest scriptures of Hinduism and are considered the foundation of Indian culture and philosophy. The Vedas are a collection of hymns, prayers, rituals, and philosophical teachings that were passed down orally from generation to generation by priests called Brahmins. They cover a wide range of topics including cosmology, mythology, rituals, moral teachings, and spiritual practices. The Vedas also contain hymns dedicated to various gods and goddesses worshipped during the Vedic period.

The early Indo-Aryans measured their wealth in cattle. Cattle were considered valuable and were used as a form of currency and status symbol. Owning a large herd of cattle indicated wealth and prosperity. They were also used for agricultural purposes, as a source of milk, and for religious rituals and sacrifices.

A commercial encouraging parents to talk to their children about drugs is an example of a public service announcement (PSA). PSAs are advertisements or messages that aim to raise awareness, promote public welfare, or educate the public on important social issues. In this case, the commercial is seeking to inform and encourage parents to have conversations with their children about drugs, which is a public health concern.

The accurate statement is: "Media have served as a powerful way to deliver public service announcements for a long time." Media, including print, radio, television, and now digital platforms, have been used to effectively deliver public service announcements (PSAs) for a considerable period of time. They offer a wide reach and the ability to convey important messages to the public for various social causes and public safety campaigns.
An object falls through the air, gaining speed as it falls. A student claims that this creates new energy, and so it breaks the law of conservation of energy. Which statement describes why the student is incorrect?(1 point)
Responses
Energy is converted from other forms, not created.

Equal and opposite amounts of other energy are also created.

Energy can be created without breaking the law of conservation of energy.
Energy can be created without breaking the law of conservation of energy.
Speed is not related to energy in any way.
The correct statement is: "Energy is converted from other forms, not created." According to the law of conservation of energy, energy cannot be created or destroyed, but it can be transformed from one form to another. In the case of an object falling through the air, the potential energy it initially possesses is converted into kinetic energy as it gains speed. The total amount of energy remains the same, it is just changing from potential energy to kinetic energy.
A person throws a ball up into the air, and the ball falls back toward Earth. At which point would the kinetic energy be the lowest?(1 point)
Responses
at a point before the ball hits the ground
at a point before the ball hits the ground
at a point when the ball is still rising
at a point when the ball is still rising
when the ball is at its highest point
when the ball is at its highest point
when the ball leaves the person’s hand
The correct answer is: "when the ball is at its highest point." At the highest point of its trajectory, the ball momentarily stops moving upward before it starts falling back towards the Earth. At this point, the ball has the lowest kinetic energy since it has come to a brief halt.
A book is at rest on a flat table. A person gives the book a shove and it slides across the table. The book eventually comes to rest again near the edge of the table. How does the potential and kinetic energy change during this process?(1 point)
Responses
The potential and kinetic energy are the same while the book is sitting on the table. They both increase when the book is shoved and then decrease as the book comes to rest again.
The potential and kinetic energy are the same while the book is sitting on the table. They both increase when the book is shoved and then decrease as the book comes to rest again.
The potential stays the same since the book is on the table. The kinetic energy stays the same since the book was only shoved.
The potential stays the same since the book is on the table. The kinetic energy stays the same since the book was only shoved.
The potential energy increases as the book is pushed across the table. The kinetic energy stays the same since the book was shoved.
The potential energy increases as the book is pushed across the table. The kinetic energy stays the same since the book was shoved.
The potential energy will stay the same as long as the book stays on the table. The kinetic energy increases when the book is shoved and then gradually decreases as it slides across the table and then comes to rest on the edge.
The correct answer is: "The potential energy will stay the same as long as the book stays on the table. The kinetic energy increases when the book is shoved and then gradually decreases as it slides across the table and then comes to rest on the edge."
When the book is at rest on the table, both its potential energy (due to its height above the ground) and its kinetic energy (since it's not moving) are at their lowest. When the book is given a shove, its kinetic energy increases as it starts sliding and gaining speed. However, its potential energy remains the same as long as it stays on the table. Finally, as the book slides across the table and comes to rest near the edge, its kinetic energy gradually decreases until it reaches zero again, while its potential energy remains unchanged, unless it falls off the table.

The accurate description of potential energy is: "stored energy." Potential energy refers to the energy that an object possesses due to its position or condition. It is "stored" and can be converted into other forms of energy like kinetic energy when the object moves or undergoes a change. Potential energy can exist in various forms, such as gravitational potential energy, elastic potential energy, or chemical potential energy.

Prayers could be offered only at large temples.
The correct answer is: "Other gods and traditions were absorbed into Hinduism." Hinduism is known for its open and inclusive nature, which allowed it to incorporate and assimilate various gods, traditions, and practices from other religions and cultures. As Hinduism spread, it adapted to local beliefs and customs, absorbing deities and rituals from different regions. This inclusiveness and adaptability contributed to the widespread acceptance and growth of Hinduism over time.

Write the ratio 12:9 as an equivalent ratio of 4:x .(1 point)
To find the equivalent ratio of 4:x, we need to determine the value of x. We can do this by setting up a proportion using the given ratio:
12/9 = 4/x
To solve for x, we can cross-multiply:
12x = 9 * 4
12x = 36
Now, we can solve for x by dividing both sides of the equation by 12:
x = 36/12
x = 3
Therefore, the equivalent ratio of 12:9 as a ratio of 4:x is 4:3.
