Hot Water Heater Due this Friday, Nov 18 at 11:59 pm (EST) A family comes home from a long vacation with laundry to do and showers to take. The water heater has been turned off during vacation. If the water heater has a capacity of 53.9 gallons and a 4620 W heating element, how much time is required to raise the temperature of the water from 19.7°C to 63.7°C? Assume that the heater is well insulated and no water is withdrawn from the tank during this time.

Suppose a gasfilled incandescent light bulb is manufactured so that the gas inside the bulb is at atmospheric pressure when the bulb has a temperature of 20.0C. (a) Find the gauge pressure inside such a bulb when it is hot, assuming its average temperature is 60.0C (an approximation) and neglecting any change in volume due to thermal expansion or gas leaks. (b) The actual final pressure for the light bulb will be less than calculated in part (a) because the glass bulb will expand. What will the actual final pressure be, taking this into account? Is this a negligible difference?
Assume you are measuring the specific heat of a sample of originally hot metal by using a calorimeter containing water.

To obtain the most accurate result for the specific heat of the metal, you should use water with which initial temperature? (a) slightly lower than room temperature (b) the same as room temperature (c) slightly higher than room temperature (d) whatever you like because the initial temperature makes no difference
