Exercise 4.6 from Richard Wolfson's Energy, Environment, and Climate
(a) Calculate the energy needed to bring a cup of water (about 250 g) from 10 degrees C to the boiling point. Then find the time it takes to heat this water (b) in a 900 W microwave oven that transfers essentially all of its microwave energy into the water and (c) in a 1 kg aluminum pan sitting on a 1500 W electric stove burner that transfers 75% of its energy output to the water and the pan. Assume the pan, too, starts at 10 degrees C and has to be heated to water's boiling point.

6. A shell is fired from a gun with a muzzle velocity of 20.0 m's, at an angle of 60.0 with the horizontal. At the top of the trajectory, the shell explodes into two fragments of equal mass. One fragment, whose speed immediately after the explosion is zero, falls vertically. How far from the gun does the other fragment land, assuming that the terrain is level and that the air drag is negligible? (You may use R-(v/g) sin(20) 7. In...
