A particle (charge = +40 C) is located on the x axis at the point x = 20 cm, and a second particle (charge = 50 C) is placed on the x axis at x = +30 cm. What is the magnitude of the total electrostatic force on a third particle (charge = 4.0 C) placed at the origin (x = 0)?
 a. 41 N
  b. 16 N
  c. 56 N
  d. 35 N
  e. 72 N

Question 2

Each of two small non-conducting spheres is charged positively, the combined charge being 40 C. When the two spheres are 50 cm apart, each sphere is repelled from the other by a force of magnitude 2.0 N. Determine the magnitude of the smaller of the two charges.
 a. 1.4 C
  b. 1.1 C
  c. 2.0 C
  d. 3.3 C
  e. 17 C

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).
