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

A meter stick moves parallel to its axis with speed of 0.96 c relative to you. What would you measure for the length of the stic
Fed [463]

Answer:

The length of the stick is 0.28 m.

The time the stick take to move is 0.97 ns.

Explanation:

Given that,

Relative speed of stick v= 0.96 c

Speed of light c= 2.99793\times10^{8}\ m/s

Proper length of stick = 1 m

We need to calculate the length of the stick

Using formula of length

\Delta l=\Delta l_{0}\sqrt{(1-\dfrac{v^2}{c^2})}

Put the value into the formula

\Delta l=1\sqrt{1-\dfrac{(0.96)^2c^2}{c^2}}

\Delta l=1\sqrt{1-(0.96)^2}

\Delta l=0.28\ m

We need to calculate the time the stick take to move

Using formula of time

t=\dfrac{\Delta l}{v}

Put the value into the formula

t=\dfrac{0.28}{0.96\times(2.99793\times10^{8})}

t=9.72\times10^{-10}\ sec

t=0.97\ ns

Hence, The length of the stick is 0.28 m.

The time the stick take to move is 0.97 ns.
