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.

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}

A 5.0-kg block of wood is placed on a 2.0-kg aluminum frying pan. How much heat is required to raise the temperature of both the
Shalnov [3]

Heat required to raise the temperature of a given system is

Q = ms\Delta T

here we know that

m = mass

s = specific heat capacity

\Delta T = change in temperature

now as we know that

mass of wood = 5 kg

mass of aluminium pan = 2 kg

change in temperature = 45 - 20 = 25 degree C

specific heat capacity of wood = 1700 J/kg C

specific heat capacity of aluminium = 900 J/kg C

now here we will find the total heat to raise the temperature of both

Q = m_1s_1\Delta T_1 + m_2s_2\Delta T_2

Q = 5 * 1700 * 25 + 2 * 900 * 25

Q = 212500 + 45000

Q = 257500 J

So heat required to raise the temperature of the system is 257500 J

An automobile having a mass of 1,000 kg is driven into a brick wall in a safety test. The bumper behaves like a spring with cons
vlada-n [284]

Answer:

v=2.02\frac{m}{s}

Explanation:

Assuming no energy lost, according to the law of conservation of energy, the kinetic energy of the automobile becomes potential energy after the crash:

K=U\\\frac{mv^2}{2}=\frac{kx^2}{2}

Here m is the automobile's mass, v is the speed of the car before impact, k is the "bumper" constant and x is the compression of the bumper due to the collision. Solving for v:

v=x\sqrt\frac{k}{m}\\v=2.63*10^{-2}m\sqrt{\frac{5.9*10^6\frac{N}{m}}{10^3kg}}\\v=2.02\frac{m}{s}

How much force is needed to lift a 25-kg mass at a constant verlocity?
Troyanec [42]

-- In order to achieve constant verlocity, the net force on the mass must be zero.  So if there ARE any forces acting on it, they must be balanced.

-- There is already a force on the mass that can't be eliminated . . . the force of gravity.

-- That force due to gravity is (mass x gravity) = (25 kg)(9.8 m/s²) = <em><u>245N</u></em> in the <u><em>downward</em></u> direction.

-- In order to 'balance' the forces and make them add up to zero, we have to provide another force of <em>245N</em>, all in the <em>upward</em> direction.

-- Then the forces on the object will be balanced, the NET force on it will be zero, and whichever way you start it moving, it will continue to move at a cornstant verlocity.
