Two particles collide, one of them initially being at rest. Is it possible for both particles to be at rest after the collision?
 a. If the collision is perfectly inelastic, then this happens.
  b. If the collision is elastic, then this happens.
  c. This can happen sometimes if the more massive particle was at rest.
  d. No.

Question 2

An electron and a proton are each released from rest in the same uniform electric field. The electron moves a distance delectron and the proton moves a distance dproton as each particle's kinetic energy increases by 1.6 eV. How do delectron and dproton compare?
 a. delectron > dproton
  b. delectron = dproton
  c. delectron < dproton
  d. The answer depends on the direction of the electric field.

Dogs have been used in studies to detect various cancers in human subjects. They have been trained to sniff breath samples from humans that were collected by having them breathe into special tubes. These people included 55 lung cancer patients, 31 breast cancer patients, and 83 cancer-free patients. The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).
