Suppose that the Department of Energy develops a new reversible engine that has a coefficient of performance (COP) of 4.0
 
  when operated as a refrigerator and a COP of 5.0 when operated as a heat pump. What is its thermal efficiency when operated as a heat engine doing work?
  A) 20 B) 10 C) 45 D) 80 E) 25

Question 2

For a certain metal, light of frequency 7.24  10-14 Hz is just barely able to dislodge photoelectrons from the metal. (h = 6.626  10-34 J  s, 1 eV = 1.60  10-19 J, e = 1.60  10-19 C)
 
  (a) What will be the stopping potential if light of frequency 8.75  10-14 Hz is shone on the metal?
  (b) What is the work function (in electron-volts) of this metal?

Bisphosphonates were first developed in the nineteenth century. They were first investigated for use in disorders of bone metabolism in the 1960s. They are now used clinically for the treatment of osteoporosis, Paget's disease, bone metastasis, multiple myeloma, and other conditions that feature bone fragility.

Once thought to have neurofibromatosis, Joseph Merrick (also known as "the elephant man") is now, in retrospect, thought by clinical experts to have had Proteus syndrome. This endocrine disease causes continued and abnormal growth of the bones, muscles, skin, and so on and can become completely debilitating with severe deformities occurring anywhere on the body.
