Problem 1:
How long does it take to heat a cup of coffee in a 1000-Watt microwave oven? This means that
energy is used at the rate of 1000 Joules per second. Assume that the coffee starts at a normal
room temperature of 25°C.
Step 1: Guess an answer.
Step 2: Estimate the volume of the coffee in mL and the final temperature that you want to
attain.
Step 3: Assume coffee has the same density and thermal properties of water. Find its heat
capacity (specific heat times mass) in appropriate units.
Step 4: Use the heat capacity and the desired temperature change to find the energy
required.
Step 5: Calculate the time required using the energy and the microwave power. Pay
attention to units and use Power = Energy/time.
Step 5: Is your answer reasonable?
Which of the following statements are IMPOSSIBLE? Choose all that apply.
The temperature inside a lab chamber was measured to be -18°C.
During an adiabatic process, 26 J of heat was absorbed by the system.
During an isovolumetric process, the volume increased.

In air, high frequencies travel the same speed as low frequencies.
a) A hot water heater in a residential home runs for an average of 3 hours per day with a heat energy input of 4.1 kW. What would be the annual cost for hot water in this home using an electric hot water heater if the cost of electricity is $0.13/kWh [round your final answer to zero decimal places]?
b) A hot water heater in a residential home runs for an average of 3.2 hours per day with a heat energy input of 3.7 kW. What would be the annual cost for hot water in this home using a gas hot water heater if the cost of natural gas is $0.33/m3? The gas water heater can get 23 MJ of energy from 1 m3 of natural gas.
