Microwave ovens use microwave radiation to heat food. the microwaves are absorbed by the water molecules in the food, which is t

ransferred to other components of the food. as the water becomes hotter, so does the food. part a suppose that the microwave radiation has a wavelength of 11.2 cm . how many photons are required to heat 225 ml of coffee from 25.0 ∘c to 62.0 ∘c? assume that the coffee has the same density, 0.997 g/ml , and specific heat capacity, 4.184 j/(g⋅k) , as water over this temperature range.

<span>step 1: energy required to heat coffee E = m Cp dT E = energy to heat coffee m = mass coffee = 225 mL x (0.997 g / mL) = 224g Cp = heat capacity of coffee = 4.184 J / gK dT = change in temp of coffee = 62.0 - 25.0 C = 37.0 C E = (224 g) x (4.184 J / gK) x (37.0 C) = 3.46x10^4 J step2: find energy of a single photon of the radiation E = hc / λ E = energy of the photon h = planck's constant = 6.626x10^-34 J s c = speed of light = 3.00x10^8 m/s λ = wavelength = 11.2 cm = 11.2 cm x (1m / 100 cm) = 0.112 m E = (6.626x10^-34 J s) x (3.00x10^8 m/s) / (0.112 m) = 1.77x10^-16 J step3: Number of photons 3.46x10^4 J x ( 1 photon / 1.77x10^-16 J) = 1.95x10^20 photons</span>

Answer:

n = 1.96 \times 10^{28} photons

Explanation:

Mass of the coffee is given as

mass = density\times volume

here we know that

density = 0.997 g/ml

volume = 225 ml

now mass of coffee will be

m = 0.997 \times 225 = 224.325 g

now heat required to raise the temperature of coffee will be

Q = ms\Delta T

Q = 224.325 \times 4.184 \times (62 - 25)

Q = 34727.3 J

now we know that energy of one photon is

E = \frac{hc}{\lambda}

E = \frac{(6.6 \times 10^{-34}) ( 3 \times 10^8)}{0.112}

E = 1.77 \times 10^{-24} J

now it requires "n" photons to complete the energy

n\times (1.77 \times 10^{-24}) = 34727.3

n = 1.96 \times 10^{28}

If the wind or current is pushing your boat away from the dock as you prepare to dock, which line should you secure first?
Sphinxa [80]

The line that should be secured first in pushing the boat away from the dock in preparation to dock is the bow line. When the bow line is secured, it is best to reverse it and turn to the dock, this will engage the line to tighten in a way that will help it swing back in the dock.

Supposing d(t) is known to have value D,
creativ13 [48]

Answer:

  • The procedure is: solve the quadratic equation for t.

Explanation:

This question assumes uniformly accelerated motion, for which the distance d a particle travels in time t is given by the general equation:

  • d(t)=d_0+v_0t+at^2/2

That is a quadratic equation, where the independent variable is the time t.

Thus, the procedure that will find the time t at which the distance value is known to be D is to solve the quadratic equation for t.

To solve it you start by changing the equation to the general form of the quadratic equations, rearranging the terms:

  • (a/2)t^2+v_0t+(d_0-D)=0

Some times that equation may be solved by factoring, and always it can be solved by using the quadratic formula:

  • t=\frac{-b+/-\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}

Where:

a=-a/2\\ \\ b=v_0\\ \\ c=d_0-D

That may have two solutions. Some times one of the solution makes no physical sense (for example time cannot be negative) but others the two solutions are valid.
