Problem 1:
How long does it take to heat a cup of coffee in a 1000-Watt microwave oven? This means that
energy is used at the rate of 1000 Joules per second. Assume that the coffee starts at a normal
room temperature of 25°C.
Step 1: Guess an answer.
Step 2: Estimate the volume of the coffee in mL and the final temperature that you want to
attain.
Step 3: Assume coffee has the same density and thermal properties of water. Find its heat
capacity (specific heat times mass) in appropriate units.
Step 4: Use the heat capacity and the desired temperature change to find the energy
required.
Step 5: Calculate the time required using the energy and the microwave power. Pay
attention to units and use Power = Energy/time.
Step 5: Is your answer reasonable?
