Answer:

T ambient = 10 degrees

Explanation:

Using Newton's Law of Cooling:

T(t) = Tamb + (Ti - Tamb)*e^(-kt)  ..... Eq 1

Ti = 100

We have two points to evaluate the above equation as follows:

T = 70 @ t = 10 using Eq 1  

70 = Tamb + (100 - Tamb)*e^(-10k)   ... Eq 2

T = 50 @ t = 20 using Eq 1

50 = Tamb + (100 - Tamb)*e^(-20k)   ... Eq 3

Solving the above Eq 2 and Eq 3 simultaneously:

Using Eq 2:

(70 - Tamb) / (100 - Tamb) = e^(-10k)  

Squaring both sides we get:

((70 - Tamb) / (100 - Tamb))^2 = e^(-20k)   .... Eq 4

Substitute Eq 4 into Eq 3

50 = Tamb + (100 - Tamb)*((70 - Tamb) / (100 - Tamb))^2

After simplification:

50 = (Tamb (100-Tamb) + (70-Tamb)^2) / (100 - Tamb)

5000 - 50*Tamb = 4900 - 40*Tamb

Tamb = 100 / 10 = 10 degrees

Give 1 real life example of a scenario that takes advantage of the inverse relationship between force and time when impulse is c
OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

On real life example of a scenario that takes advantage of the inverse relationship between force and time when impulse is constant is when making a serve with a lawn tennis racket

How It is an example of impulse is that when a serve is made by moving the bat slowly, the lawn tennis player uses less force and the ball is in contact with the string for longer a period

When however, the lawn tennis player moves the racket faster, with the strings of the racket highly tensioned  he uses more force and the ball also spends less time on the racket to produce the same momentum

Explanation:

The impulse of a force, ΔP is given by the following formula;

ΔP = F × Δt

Where ΔP is constant, we have;

F ∝ 1/Δt

Therefore, for the same impulse, when the force is increased, the time of contact is decreases and vice versa.

A sample of 5.6 L of a gas is at a pressure of 1.5 atm. If the volume of the gas is compressed to 4.8 L, what will the new press
Effectus [21]

Answer:

1.75atm

Explanation:

According to Boyle's law, the pressure P of a fixed mass of gas is inversely proportional to it's volume V provided that the temperature remains constant.

P\alpha \frac{1}{V}\\hence\\PV=constant

This implies the following;

P_1V_1=P_2V_2=...=P_nV_n............(1) Provided temperature is kept constant.

Given;

P_1=1.5atm\\V_1=5.6L\\P_2=?\\V_2=4.8L

From equation (1), we can write;

P_1V_1=P_2V_2\\hence\\1.5*5.6=P_2*4.8\\\\P_2=\frac{1.5*5.6}{4.8}\\\\P_2=1.75atm

Since all the units are consistent, there is no need for conversion.
