An airplane starts from rest and accelerates at a constant 10.8 m/s2. What is its speed at the end of a 400 m-long runway?
 
  A) 4320 m/s B) 93.0 m/s C) 37.0 m/s D) 186 m/s E) 65.7 m/s

Question 2

Block 1 and block 2 have the same mass, m, and are released from the top of two inclined planes of the same height making 30 and 60 angles with the horizontal direction, respectively.
 
  If the coefficient of friction is the same in both cases, which of the blocks is going faster when it reaches the bottom of its respective incline? A) We must know the actual masses of the blocks to answer.
  B) Both blocks have the same speed at the bottom.
  C) Block 1 is faster.
  D) Block 2 is faster.
  E) There is not enough information to answer the question because we do not know the value of the coefficient of kinetic friction.

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).
