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.

Phantasy [73]
It should be 112.5 pounds because if there are 15 boxes and each box weighs 7.5 pounds, 15 x 7.5 = 112.5

erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

5.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Similar shapes also maintain a constant proportion of sides. Therefore, we can set up the following equation:

\frac{31}{43}=\frac{\text{KI}}{8}

Solving, we get:

\text{KI}=\frac{8\cdot 31}{43}\approx \boxed{5.8}

What is the domain of the function?<br><br> y= sqrt 5x-10
Andrews [41]

I don't know if this will help but I found this on YAHOO!

Answer: Domain of definition of a function is the set of numbers which the variable attains and for which the function is defined.

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = sqrt (5x-10)

Here x can have value equal to any real number >=2 because if x attains value less that 2, 5x-10 becomes negative and sqrt(5x-10) has no real value.

therefore the domain of the function f(x) is (2, infinity) inclusive of 2.
