At what temperature do the Fahrenheit and Celsius scales coincide?
Should a material used as a heating element have low or high thermal conductivity? Why?
The outdoor temperature rises by \(27^{\circ} \mathrm{F}\). What's that rise in Celsius?
What is the difference between heat energy and internal energy?
The table below shows temperature versus time for \(500 \mathrm{~g}\) of waDATA ter heated in a microwave oven. In a microwave, essentially all the microwave energy goes into the water-containing food in the oven. Plot the data, determine a best-fit line, and use the slope of your line to determine the microwave power of this particular oven. Assume that water's specific heat is independent of temperature (which is only approximately true; see Problem 75 ). \begin{tabular}{|l|l|l|l|l|l|l|l|} \hline Time (s) & 0 & 25 & 60 & 95 & 125 & 160 & 190 \\ \hline Temperature \(\left({ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\right)\) & 12 & 20 & 39 & 53 & 64 & 83 & 93 \\ \hline \end{tabular}
