Given that many of the ideas of quantum mechanics seem so strange to our intuition, why do scientists think these ideas are correct?
A) Quantum ideas can be used to make precise predictions that have been tested and confirmed through observations and experiments.
B) Although the ideas seem strange at first, they make perfect sense once they are studied in depth, which is why scientists accept them.
C) Quantum ideas were expected to be strange, so the fact that they are strange only lends them support.
D) Actually, very few scientists think the quantum ideas are correct, and most expect the theories of quantum mechanics to be completely replaced in the near future.

The interstate on-ramp is 1.5 km West of your home, and on leaving for grandmother’s house you are only able to accomplish an average velocity of 12 km/hr between your home and the on-ramp. At the onramp, you wait for traffic, for 2.0 min – and then are able to proceed toward grandmother’s house. If you wish to arrive there, which is 15 km South of the onramp, over a river and through some woods, in a total elapsed time of 25.0 minutes, what average speed must you maintain on the interstate highway?
A. 51 km/hr B. 67 km/hr C. 36 km/hr D. none of these.
