A 6.0-kg object, initially at rest in free space, explodes into three segments of equal mass. Two of these segments are observed to be moving with equal speeds of 20 m/s with an angle of 60 between their directions of motion. How much kinetic energy is released in this explosion?
 a. 2.4 kJ
  b. 2.9 kJ
  c. 2.0 kJ
  d. 3.4 kJ
  e. 1.2 kJ

Question 2

A 2.0-kg object moving 3.0 m/s strikes a 1.0-kg object initially at rest. Immediately after the collision, the 2.0-kg object has a velocity of 1.5 m/s directed 30 from its initial direction of motion. What is the y component of the velocity of the 1.0-kg object just after the collision?
 a. -3.7 m/s
  b. -3.4 m/s
  c. -1.5 m/s
  d. -2.4 m/s
  e. -4.1 m/s

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).
