In simple harmonic motion, when is the magnitude of the acceleration the greatest? (There could be more than one correct choice.)
 
  A) when the kinetic energy is a minimum
  B) when the displacement is a zero
  C) when the speed is a maximum
  D) when the potential energy is a maximum
  E) when the magnitude of the displacement is a maximum

Question 2

A baseball pitcher is employing a ballistic pendulum to determine the speed of his fastball. A lump of clay is suspended from a cord 2.0 m long.
 
  When the pitcher throws his fastball aimed directly at the clay, the ball suddenly becomes embedded in the clay and the two swing up to a maximum height of 0.080 m. If the mass of the baseball is 0.21 kg, find the speed of the pitched ball.

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).

Of the estimated 2 million heroin users in the United States, 600,000–800,000 are considered hardcore addicts. Heroin addiction is considered to be one of the hardest addictions to recover from.
