To practice problem-solving strategy 25.1 power and energy in circuits. a device for heating a cup of water in a car connects to the car's battery, which has an emf e = 10.0 v and an internal resistance rint = 0.03 ω . the heating element that is immersed in the cup of water is a resistive coil with resistance r. david wants to experiment with the device, so he connects an ammeter into the circuit and measures 10.0 a when the device is connected to the car's battery. from this, he calculates the time to boil a cup of water using the device. if the energy required is 100 kj , how long does it take to boil a cup of water?

While strolling downtown on a saturday afternoon, you stumble across an old car show. as you are walking along an alley toward a main street, you glimpse a particularly stylish alpha romeo pass by. tall buildings on either side of the alley obscure your view, so you see the car only as it passes between the buildings. thinking back to your physics class, you realize that you can calculate the car's acceleration. you estimate the width of the alleyway between the two buildings to be 6 m. the car was in view for 0.6 s. you also heard the engine rev when the car started from a red light, so you know the alpha romeo started from rest 4 s before you first saw it. find the magnitude of its acceleration.
