A projectile is fired from point 0 at the edge of a cliff, with initial velocity components of v0x = 60.0 m/s and v0y = 175 m/s, as shown in the figure.
 
  The projectile rises and then falls into the sea at point P. The time of flight of the projectile is 40.0 s, and it experiences no appreciable air resistance in flight. What is the height of the cliff?
 
  What will be an ideal response?

Question 2

A rock is thrown at a window that is located 18.0 m above the ground. The rock is thrown at an angle of 40.0 above horizontal.
 
  The rock is thrown from a height of 2.00 m above the ground with a speed of 30.0 m/s and experiences no appreciable air resistance. If the rock strikes the window on its upward trajectory, from what horizontal distance from the window was it released?
  A) 53.2 m
  B) 48.7 m
  C) 71.6 m

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).
