The formula below, Newton's law of cooling, allows us to calculate the temperature of an object as it cools. T = R + (T0 − R)e-k

t T = temperature of the object after t minutes T0 = initial temperature R = temperature of the surroundings k = cooling rate (depends on the object and conditions) Suppose the temperature in Denver, Colorado was 55°F when a 5°F arctic cold front moved over the state. Using k = 0.012, how long would it take a puddle of water to freeze? (Recall that water freezes at 32°F.)

The Newton`s law of cooling:
T = R + ( To - R ) * e ^(-kt )
We know that: T = 32° F ( the water freezes at 32° F ), To = 55° F, R = 5° F
and the cooling rate is:  k = 0.012.
33° F = 5° F + ( 55° F - 5° F ) · 2.72^(-0.012 t )
33 - 5 = 50 · 2.72^(-0.012 t)
27 = 50 · 2.72^(-0.012 t)
2.72^(-0.012 t) = 27/50
1 / 2.72^(0.012 t) = 0.54
2.72^( 0.012 t ) = 1 : 0.54 = 1.85
0.012 t = log(base e) 1.85 = ln 1.85 = 0.6
t = 0.6 : 0.012 = 50
Answer: It would take 50 minutes.

olganol [36]

Answer:

The actual building will be 7.5 m tall

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the scale model value of the building, we want to find the actual height of the building

From the scale model;

1 cm = 0.5m

Thus 15 cm will be 15 * 0.5 = 7.5 m

Solve the right triangle. Round to the nearest degree and nearest tenth of a unit. What is the right angleV?
N76 [4]

Answer:

  m∠V ≈ 61°

Step-by-step explanation:

The hypotenuse and the side opposite the angle of interest are given. The relevant trig relation is ...

  Sin = Opposite/Hypotenuse

  sin(V) = XW/XV = 7/8

The inverse sine function is used to find the angle:

  V = arcsin(7/8) ≈ 61°

The price of a cycle is reduced by 25 per cent. The new price is reduced by a further 20 per cent.Find the single reduction the
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

40%  . The single reduction together is 40%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the bicycle cost is   x before reduced price.

First 25% is reduced  and again 20% further reduced.

Let the single reduction is y% if the two reduction together are equal.

Solution,

Case .1

reduction cost=x\times 25%%

=x\times 25/100

=x/4

The cost of bicycle after reduction of 25% is

=x-x/4=3x/4

cost of reduction further reduction of 20%      =3x/4\times 20%

=3x\times 20/(4\times 100)

=3x/20

The new cost of bicycle is further reduction of 20% is

=3x/4-3x/20

=\left ( 15x-3x \right )/20

=12x/20=3x/5

Case.2

if single reduction is done new cost of cycle is equal

x-x\times y%=3x/5

x\left ( 1-y/100 \right )=3x/5

\left ( 100-y \right )/100=3/5

100-y=60

y=40%

single reduction of a cycle is 40%
