On a position-time graph for a particle, suppose the plot starts at some positive position and as the time goes on the curve gets steeper and steeper while curving upwards. Which of the following must be true?
 a. The speed of the particle is constant.
  c. The speed of the particle is decreasing.
  b. The acceleration of the particle is constant.
  d. The acceleration of the particle is positive.

Question 2

A car is moving in the positive direction along a straight highway and accelerates at a constant rate while going from point A to point B. If the acceleration is positive, increasing the speed of the car, when does the position where the average speed equals the instantaneous speed occur during the time interval from A to B? Assume the time interval is T.
 a. T/2 from the start of the interval
  c. after T/2 from the start of the interval
  b. before T/2 from the start of the interval
  d. It depends on the speed at the start of the time interval.

Though methadone is often used to treat dependency on other opioids, the drug itself can be abused. Crushing or snorting methadone can achieve the opiate "rush" desired by addicts.

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).
