A 3.00 x 10^2-W electric immersion heater is used to heat a cup of water. The cup is made
of glass and its mass is 3.00 10^2 g. It con-
tains 250 g of water at 15° C. How much time
is needed for the heater to bring the water to
the boiling point? Assume the temperature of
the cup to be the same as the temperature of
the water at all times and no heat is lost to
the air.

Consider a resistor with color code “orange blue brown gold” and a measured value of 370 ω. determine the following: nominal value, tolerance, % error, and the probability of another resistor from the same manufacturing batch having a value closer to nominal than this one. use matlab or excel to evaluate the erf function.

Tafari worked one summer on a ship that set weather buoys in the ocean. he watched how one of the buoys moved in the water. describe which parts of the wave would cause the buoy to bob up and down. which wave property determined how fast the buoys bobbed in the water? he observed that when the wind blew harder, the ocean waves were larger, and the buoys moved away from the ship. what effect, if any, did the waves have on how far the buoys moved? explain your answer.

Alinearly polarized electromagnetic wave has an average intensity of 196 w/m^2. this wave is directed towards two ideal polarizers (in real polarizers, transmission is also effected by reflection and absorption). polarizer a is oriented with its transmission axis at an angle of θ_1=20.8∘ with the incident electric field. polarizer b has its axis at an angle of θ_2=63.0∘ with the incident electric field. what is the average intensity of the wave after it passes through polarizer a? what is the average intensity of the wave after it passes through polarizer b? suppose that the two polarizers a and b are interchanged. what would the average intensity be after passing through both polarizers?
