It is possible to hear an approaching train before you can see it by listening to the sound wave through the track. If the elastic modulus is 2.0  1011 N/m2 and the density of steel is 7.8  103 kg/m3, approximately how many times faster is the speed of sound in the track than in air? (vair  340 m/s.)
 a. 20
  b. 5
  c. 10
  d. 15
  e. 25

Question 2

The Young's modulus for aluminum is 7.02  1010 N/m2 . If the speed of sound in aluminum is measured to be 5.10 km/s, find its density (in kg/m3).
 a. 11.3  103
  b. 7.80  103
  c. 2.70  103
  d. 29.3  103
  e. 1.40  103

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).
