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

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

A 3.00-kg ball swings rapidly in a complete vertical circle of radius 2.00 m by a light string that is fixed at one end. The bal
Hoochie [10]

Answer:

The ball moves from lowest to highest point:

W = M g h = 3 * 9.8 * 4 = 118 J

This is work done "against" gravity so work done by gravity is -118 J

The tension of the string does no work because the tension does not

move thru any distance   W = T * x = 0 because the length of the string is fixed.

Two satellites, A and B are in different circular orbits
jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

The ratio of the orbital time periods of A and B is \frac{1}{2}

Solution:

As per the question:

The orbit of the two satellites is circular

Also,

Orbital speed of A is 2 times the orbital speed of B

v_{oA} = 2v_{oB}        (1)

Now, we know that the orbital speed of a satellite for circular orbits is given by:

v_{o} = \farc{2\piR}{T}

where

R = Radius of the orbit

Now,

For satellite A:

v_{oA} = \farc{2\piR}{T_{a}}

Using eqn (1):

2v_{oB} = \farc{2\piR}{T_{a}}           (2)

For satellite B:

v_{oB} = \farc{2\piR}{T_{b}}              (3)

Now, comparing eqn (2) and eqn (3):

\frac{T_{a}}{T_{b}} = \farc{1}{2}
