A pan of warm water (46∘ Celsius) was put in a refrigerator. After 15 minutes, the water's temperature was 27∘ C; 15 minutes aft

er that, it was 19∘C. Use Newton's Law of Cooling to determine how cold the refrigerator was.

Answer:

The refrigerator was at around 13 ∘C

Step-by-step explanation:

Newton's Law of Cooling:

The rate of change of a body temperature  (amount of heat loss/time of loss) is directly proportional to the difference between its own temperature and the surroundings.

\frac{T(t2)-T(t1)}{t2-t1} = -h (T(t2) - Tenv)

T ⇒ temperature

t ⇒ time

Tenv ⇒refrigerator temperature

\frac{T(t2)-T(t1)}{t2-t1} ⇒ rate of change of he temperature

-h ⇒ constant of proportionality (negative because the temperature is decreasing inside the refrigerator)

We have 3 points:

time (minutes) - Temperature (∘ C)

0 (when the pan was put in the refrigerator) - 46

15 (after 15 minutes) - 27

30 (15 minutes after the first 15 minutes) - 19

\frac{27 - 46}{15 - 0} = -h (27 - Tenv)

\frac{19 - 27}{15 - 0} = -h (19 - Tenv)

Now we have a system of two equations and two variables

\frac{-19}{15} = -h (27 - Tenv)\\ \frac{19}{15} = h (27 - Tenv)\\ \frac{19}{15(27 - Tenv)} = h

\frac{19 - 27}{15 - 0} = -h (19 - Tenv)\\\frac{-8}{15} = -h (19 - Tenv)\\\frac{8}{15} = h (19 - Tenv)\\\frac{8}{15} = \frac{19}{15(27 - Tenv)} (19 - Tenv)\\8(27 - Tenv) = 19 (19 - Tenv)\\216 - 8 Tenv = 361 - 19 Tenv\\19 Tenv - 8 Tenv = 361 - 216\\11 Tenv = 145 \\Tenv = 145/ 11\\Tenv = 13. 18

The refrigerator was at around 13 ∘C

ANSWER FAST <br> NO LINKS<br> 23=x-13<br><br> 9+x=14<br><br> 12=x+8
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

23=x-13, x=36

9+x=14, x=5

12=x+8, x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

23=x-13. You want to isolate x so you have to add 13 to both sides. x=23+13, x=36

9+x=14. You want to isolate x so you have to subtract 9 from both sides. x=14-9, x=5.

12=x+8. You want to isolate x so you have to subtract 8 from both sides. x=4.

Using the graph, determine the coordinates of the roots of the parabola.
Liula [17]

Answer:

(7, 0) and (3,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

On the graph, the parabola crosses the x-axis at two points. The two points are called the roots. And since they cross at (7, 0) and (3, 0), they are our roots. Hope this helps!

A class of 63 students is going on a field trip. They will take 9 buses. Each bus will have the same number of students. How man
SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

There will be 7 students on each bus.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the class of 63 students is divided into 9 buses with the same number of students traveling in each one, to determine the number of students traveling in each bus it is necessary to perform the following mathematical calculation:

63/9 = X

7 = X

Thus, in each bus 7 students will travel, and in this way all buses will carry the same number of students.
