An object of mass m moving at speed v0 strikes an object of mass 2m which had been at rest. The first object bounces backward along its initial path at speed v0 . Is this collision elastic, and if not, what is the change in kinetic energy of the system?
 a. The collision is elastic.
  b. The kinetic energy decreases by mv2.
  c. The kinetic energy decreases by mv2/2.
  d. The kinetic energy increases by mv2.

Question 2

A 26.0-g bullet moving at 1 200 m/s is fired through a one-kg block of wood emerging at a speed of 200 m/s. What is the kinetic energy of the block that results from the collision if the block had not been moving prior to the collision and was free to move?
 a. 6.6E+2 J
  b. 4.9E+2 J
  c. 3.4E+2 J
  d. 7.4E+2 J
  e. 1.3E+3 J

A serious new warning has been established for pregnant women against taking ACE inhibitors during pregnancy. In the study, the risk of major birth defects in children whose mothers took ACE inhibitors during the first trimester was nearly three times higher than in children whose mothers didn't take ACE inhibitors. Physicians can prescribe alternative medications for pregnant women who have symptoms of high blood pressure.
