A 2.0 g bead slides along a frictionless wire, as shown in the figure. At point A, the bead is moving to the right but with negligible speed.
 
  (a) What is the potential energy of the bead at point A?
  (b) What is the kinetic energy of the bead at point B?
  (c) What is the speed of the bead at point B?
  (d) What is the speed of the bead at point C?
 
  What will be an ideal response?

For about 100 years, scientists thought that peptic ulcers were caused by stress, spicy food, and alcohol. Later, researchers added stomach acid to the list of causes and began treating ulcers with antacids. Now it is known that peptic ulcers are predominantly caused by Helicobacter pylori, a spiral-shaped bacterium that normally exist in the stomach.
