You place a cup of 210 degrees F coffee on a table in a room that is 68 degrees F, and 10 minutes later, it is 200 degrees F. Ap

proximately how long will it be before the coffee is 180 degrees F? Use Newton's law of cooling:

The answer is 35 minutes

The Newton's law of cooling is:
T(x) = Ta + (To - Ta)e⁻ⁿˣ

T(x) - the temperature of the coffee at time x
Ta - the ambient temperature
To - the initial temperature
n - constant

step 1. Calculate constant k:

We have:
T(x) = 200°F
x = 10 min
Ta = 68°F
To = 210°F
n = ?

T(x) = Ta + (To - Ta)e⁻ⁿˣ
200 = 68 + (210 - 68)e⁻ⁿ*¹⁰
200 = 68 + 142 * e⁻¹⁰ⁿ
200 - 68 = 142 * e⁻¹⁰ⁿ
132 = 142 * e⁻¹⁰ⁿ
e⁻¹⁰ⁿ = 132/142
e⁻¹⁰ⁿ = 0.93

Logarithm both sides with natural logarithm:
ln(e⁻¹⁰ⁿ) = ln(0.93)
-10n * ln(e) = -0.07
-10n * 1 = - 0.07
-10n = -0.07
n = -0.07 / - 10
n = 0.007

Step 2. Calculate time x when T(x) = 180°F:
We have:
T(x) = 180°F
x = ?
Ta = 68°F
To = 210°F
n = 0.007

T(x) = Ta + (To - Ta)e⁻ⁿˣ
180 = 68 + (210 - 68)e⁻⁰.⁰⁰⁷*ˣ
180 - 68 = 142 * e⁻⁰.⁰⁰⁷*ˣ
112 = 142 * e⁻⁰.⁰⁰⁷⁾*ˣ
e⁻⁰.⁰⁰⁷*ˣ = 112/142
e⁻⁰.⁰⁰⁷*ˣ = 0.79

Logarithm both sides with natural logarithm:
ln(e⁻⁰.⁰⁰⁷*ˣ) = ln(0.79)
-0.007x * ln(e) = -0.24
-0.007x * 1 = -0.24
-0.007x = -0.24
x = -0.24 / -0.007
x ≈ 35

Which of the following material offers the lowest resistivity?
Yuki888 [10]
Lower resistivity means higher conductivity: among these materials, the best conductor is silver, therefore it must be the material with lowest resistivity among those. We can also have a look at the value of resistivity of the different materials listed in the problem, to check our answer. The resistivities of the materials are the following:
Wood: 1.00\cdot 10^{3} \Omega \cdot m
Salt water: 2.00\cdot 10^{-1} \Omega \cdot m
Silver: 1.59\cdot 10^{-8} \Omega \cdot m
Lead: 2.20\cdot 10^{-7} \Omega \cdot m
<span>We see that the material with lowest resistivity among those is silver, therefore the correct answer is silver.</span>
