A 2.0-kg object is moving without friction along the x-axis. The potential energy curve as a function of position is shown in the figure, and the system is conservative.
 
  If the speed of the object at the origin is 4.0 m/s, what will be its speed at 7.0 m along the +x-axis?
 
  A) 4.0 m/s
  B) 4.2 m/s
  C) 4.4 m/s
  D) 4.6 m/s
  E) 9.8 m/s

Question 2

A car on a roller coaster starts at zero speed at an elevation above the ground of 26 m. It coasts down a slope, and then climbs a hill. The top of the hill is at an elevation of 16 m. What is the speed of the car at the top of the hill?
 
  Neglect any frictional effects.
  A) 14 m/s
  B) 18 m/s
  C) 10 m/s
  D) 9.0 m/s
  E) 6.0 m/s

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).
