Problem

An electric kettle rated at

1.20\times10^{3}\,\text{W}

is used to heat

0.50\,\text{kg}

of water initially at

20^{\circ}\text{C}

. The specific heat capacity of water is

4.18\times10^{3}\,\text{J}\,\text{kg}^{-1}\,^{\circ}\text{C}^{-1}

. Assuming no energy losses, determine whether the water will reach its boiling point in

3.0\,\text{min}

. Provide a brief justification.
