Use specific heat capacity and latent heat

Paper 1, Paper 2 5 marks Difficulty 3

Mass vaporised from latent heat

A electric bike circuit check supplies \(51000\,\text{J}\) to boiling water. Use \(L_v=2.26\times10^{6}\,\text{J kg}^{-1}\). Calculate the mass vaporised. Enter the numerical result and choose the interpretation that matches the physics meaning.

Worked practice: physics data and result

Read the physical quantities first, then calculate the result and state what it means.
