In the last part of the experiment you need to investigate the behaviour of gamma radiation as it passes through air. a gamma source is placed at a distance d = 0.064 m away from the gm detector and the counts per minute recorded c = 585.

as we expect gamma radiation not to be absorbed by air an inverse square law type behaviour should be seen, where the count rate will decrease with distance. to see if this is correct you need to plot a graph, with data collected at different distances. looking at the data given above, what point would you plot on the x-axis?

Aheat engine running backward is called a refrigerator if its purpose is to extract heat from a cold reservoir. the same engine running backward is called a heat pump if its purpose is to exhaust warm air into the hot reservoir. heat pumps are widely used for home heating. you can think of a heat pump as a refrigerator that is cooling the already cold outdoors and, with its exhaust heat qh, warming the indoors. perhaps this seems a little silly, but consider the following. electricity can be directly used to heat a home by passing an electric current through a heating coil. this is a direct, 100% conversion of work to heat. that is, 19.0 \rm kw of electric power (generated by doing work at the rate 19.0 kj/s at the power plant) produces heat energy inside the home at a rate of 19.0 kj/s. suppose that the neighbor's home has a heat pump with a coefficient of performance of 4.00, a realistic value. note: with a refrigerator, "what you get" is heat removed. but with a heat pump, "what you get" is heat delivered. so the coefficient of performance of a heat pump is k=qh/win. an average price for electricity is about 40 mj per dollar. a furnace or heat pump will run typically 200 hours per month during the winter. what does one month's heating cost in the home with a 16.0 kw electric heater? what does one month's heating cost in the home of a neighbor who uses a heat pump to provide the same amount of heating?

You are your friend move a new refrigerator into his kitchen. you apply a horizontal force of 252 n in the negative x direction to try and move the 56 kg refrigerator. the coefficient of static friction is 0.61. (a) how much static frictional force does the floor exert on the refrigerator? give both magnitude (in n) and direction. magnitude n direction (b) what maximum force (in n) do you need to apply before the refrigerator starts to move?
