Two horizontal curves on a bobsled run are banked at the same angle, but one has twice the radius of the other. The safe speed (no friction needed to stay on the run) for the smaller radius curve is V.
 
  Therefore, the safe speed on the larger radius curve is A) 0.71 V.
  B) 0.10 V.
  C) 1.4 V.
  D) 0.5 V.
  E) 2. V.

Question 2

Vector is 75.0 cm long and points at 30 above the positive x axis. Vector is 25.0 cm long and points along the negative x axis. Vector is 40.0 cm long and points at 45 below the negative x axis.
 
  (a) Determine the x and y components of Vector .
  (b) Determine the x and y components of Vector .
  (c) Determine the x and y components of Vector .
  (d) Determine the sum of these three vectors in terms of components.
  (e) Determine the sum of these three vectors in terms of magnitude and direction.

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).
