The Schwarzschild radius of a black hole is that radial distance from the center of a sphere within which not even light can escape.
 
  It was first discovered mathematically by Schwarzschild in 1916 after Einstein published his general relativity theory. It can be calculated from a star's mass M as: R = 2GM/c2. Take the radius of both stars A and B as the Schwarzschild radius. If the mass of star A is twice as much as the mass of star B, the average density of star A, compared to star B will be A)
 
  the same.
  B)
 
  twice as much.
  C)
 
  half as much.
  D)
 
  four times as much.
  E)
 
  one-fourth as much.

Question 2

The reason the position of a particle cannot be specified with infinite precision is the
 
  A)
 
  coherence principle.
  B)
 
  exclusion principle.
  C)
 
  uncertainty principle.
  D)
 
  photoelectric effect.
  E)
 
  principle of relativity.

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).
