In the position-entanglement experiment, one of the two particles impacts at a particular point on one of the screens. Is the other particle affected by this observation, and if so, how?
A) Yes, the other particle then ceases to feel the force exerted by the first particle.
B) Yes, the other particle immediately makes a transition into a different quantum state, even though the two particles are some distance apart.
C) Yes, the other particle transitions into a new quantum state a little later, after the force exerted by the first particle has had time to reach the second particle.
D) No, the other particle is not affected because they are separate particles.
E) No, the other particle is not affected because observations [such as the impact of a particle] cannot in themselves alter other objects in the real physical world.

A car is moving along a straight highway and accelerates at a constant rate while going from point A to point B. If the acceleration is positive, increasing the speed of the car, where does the position where the instantaneous speed equals the average speed occur for the interval from A to B?
a. midway between A and B b. closer to A than to B c. closer to B than to A d. Any of the answers could be correct depending on the original speed.
A heavily loaded boat is floating in a pond. The boat starts to sink because of a leak but quick action plugging the leak stops the boat from going under although it is now deeper in the water. What happens to the surface level of the pond?
a. It stays the same. b. It goes up. c. It goes down. d. More information is needed to reach a conclusion.
