Which of the following scenarios correctly demonstrates the transformation of mass into energy as given by Einstein's equation, E = mc2?
 
  A) When hydrogen is fused into helium, whether in the Sun or in a nuclear bomb, the mass difference is turned into energy.
  B) An object accelerated to a great speed has a lot of kinetic energy.
  C) A mass raised to a great height has a lot of gravitational potential energy.
  D) When you boil a pot of water, it has a high heat content, or thermal energy.
  E) A burning piece of wood produces light and heat, therefore giving off radiative and thermal energy.

Question 2

If we went back in time 10 billion years, would we expect Hubble's constant to be identical to the present-day Hubble constant?
 
  A) Yes, a constant never changes.
  B) No, Hubble's constant is roughly equal to 1 divided by the age of the universe, and 10 billion is a substantial enough number to notice a difference.
  C) If we went back further in time, it would be different, but 10 billion years is not enough.
  D) It would only change if we went 10 billion years into the future.

There are major differences in the metabolism of morphine and the illegal drug heroin. Morphine mostly produces its CNS effects through m-receptors, and at k- and d-receptors. Heroin has a slight affinity for opiate receptors. Most of its actions are due to metabolism to active metabolites (6-acetylmorphine, morphine, and morphine-6-glucuronide).
