A 2.0 kg mass is moving along the x-axis. The potential energy curve as a function of position is shown in the figure. The kinetic energy of the object at the origin is 12 J. The system is conservative, and there is no friction.
 
  (a) What will be the kinetic energy at 2.0 m along the +x-axis?
  (b) What will be the speed of the object at 6.0 m along the +x-axis?
  What will be an ideal response?

Question 2

A roller coaster of mass 80.0 kg is moving with a speed of 20.0 m/s at position A as shown in the figure. The vertical height above ground level at position A is 200 m. Neglect friction.
 
  (a) What is the total mechanical energy of the roller coaster at point A?
  (b) What is the total mechanical energy of the roller coaster at point B?
  (c) What is the speed of the roller coaster at point B?
  (d) What is the speed of the roller coaster at point C?
 
  What will be an ideal response?

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
