A policeman investigating an accident measures the skid marks left by a car. He determines that the distance between the point that the driver slammed on the brakes and the point where the car came to a stop was 28.0 m.
 
  From a reference manual he determines that the coefficient of kinetic friction between the tires and the road under the prevailing conditions was 0.300. How fast was the car going when the driver applied the brakes? (This car was not equipped with anti-lock brakes.) A) 10.7 m/s
  B) 12.8 m/s
  C) 21.4 m/s
  D) 32.9 m/s
  E) 45.7 m/s

Question 2

A 600-kg car traveling at 24.5 m/s is going around a curve having a radius of 120 m that is banked at an angle of 20.
 
  (a) Is the curve properly banked for the car's speed? (b) What is the minimum coefficient of static friction required between the road and the car's tires so the car does not skid?

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).
