What current (in A) must be produced by a 12.0 V battery-operated bottle warmer in order to heat 70.0 g of glass, 200 g of baby formula, and 3.50 ✕ 102 g of aluminum from 20.0°C to 90.0°C in 4.70 min? (Assume the specific heats of glass, baby formula, and aluminum are 840 J/(kg · °C), 4,186 J/(kg · °C), and 900 J/(kg · °C), respectively.)
The heating element of an electric coffee maker operates at 120 V and carries a current of 2.00 A. Assumingthe water absorbs all the energy delivered to the resistor, calculate the time interval during which thetemperature of 0.500 kg of water rises from room temperature (23.0°C) to the boiling point.
It is proposed to have a water heater that consists of an insulated pipe of 7.5-cm diameter and an electric resistor inside. Cold water at 20°C enters the heating section steadily at a rate of 24 L/min. If water is to be heated to 48°C, determine (a) the power rating of the resistance heater and (b) the average velocity of the water in the pipe.
