The half-life of cobalt-60 is 5.3 years, while that of strontium-90 is 28 years.
 
  Suppose that samples of cobalt-60 and strontium-90 are such that they initially have the same activity (number of decays per second). What is true about the initial numbers of cobalt-60 and strontium-90 nuclei in these samples?
  A) There are equal numbers of cobalt-60 and strontium-90 nuclei.
  B) There are more cobalt-60 than strontium-90 nuclei.
  C) It is not possible to compare numbers of nuclei without knowing the masses of the samples.
  D) There are more strontium-90 than cobalt-60 nuclei.

Question 2

Two equal charges Q are separated by a distance d. One of the charges is released and moves away from the other due to the force between them. When the moving charge is a distance 3d from the other charge, what is its kinetic energy?

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).
