The “Energy Guide” label on a washing machine indicates that the washer will use $85 worth of hot water per year if the water is heated by an electric water heater at an electricity rate of $0.113/kWh. If the water is heated from 12 to 55°C, determine how many liters of hot water an average family uses per week. Disregard the electricity consumed by the washer, and take the efficiency of the electric water heater to be 91 percent.
A technician measures the specific heat of an unidentified liquid by immersing an electrical resistor in it. Electrical energy is converted to heat, which is then transferred to the liquid for 125 s at a constant rate of 67.9 W. The
mass of the liquid is 0.770 kg, and its temperature increases from 18.58°C to 22.57° C.

- I often make tea in my microwave oven. I know that it takes two minutes to bring the temperature of a cup of water from room temperature to just about boiling: ready for the teabag. I looked up the characteristics of a microwave oven. Typically their power rating is about 1000 W, but I know that this is the power consumed from the power company, not the power delivered to the water. I looked up the efficiency of microwave ovens, and found that it is about 64%, meaning that a typical oven delivers 640 W to the water. I also looked up the frequency of the microwaves that an oven uses, and found thatf= 2,450 MHz. (a) How much energy is delivered to the water in the making of a cup of tea?
