At 7:00 A.M., Alicia pours a cup of tea whose temperature is 200°F. The tea starts to cool to room temperature (72°F). At 7:02 A

.M. the temperature of the tea is 197°F. At 7:15 A.M. the temperature of the tea is 180°F. Alicia will drink the tea when its temperature is 172°F.
Part A

Which of the following shows an exponential cooling equation that models the temperature of the tea?

A. y = 72(0.989)x + 128

B. y = 128(0.989)x + 72

C. y = 200(0.989)x + 72

D. y = 128(0.989)x + 200

Part B

When can Ella drink the tea?


Ella can drink the tea after

Answer: A) Option B

B) 22.3 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

The temperature decreases in an exponential decrease, this means that we can write the equation as:

T(x) = A*r^x + B

Where A is the difference between the initial temperature and the room temperature, B is the room temperature, and r is a positive number smaller than 1, that says "how fast" the temperature decreases (and x is the variable, in units of time)

We know that the initial temperature

A = 200° - 72° = 128°

B = 72°

T(x) = 128°r^x + 72°

The only option with those two values is option B.

T(x) =  128(0.989)^x + 72

We should check that when x = 2m, the temperature must be 197°

T(2m) = 128*(0.989)^2 + 72 = 197.2° (that we can round down to 197°)

So this equation is correct

Now we want to find the time such the temperature is 172°F

then:

172° = 128°(0.989)^x + 72°

100° = 128°(0.989)^x

100/128 = (0.989)^x

x = ln(100/128)/ln(0.989) = 22.3 minutes.

Let's check in our equation:

T(22.3) =  128°(0.989)^22.3 + 72 = 172°

What is the value in meters per second squared of the acceleration of gravity?
Lady bird [3.3K]
In real-life physics, acceleration due to gravity will change respect to altitude. Check out the attached image (source: Wikipedia).

However, in high-school physics, acceleration due to gravity is represented by the letter g, which has a value of 9.81 meters per second squared.

This means that an object being dropped straight down will be moving 9.81 meters per second faster than it was 1 second ago. I hope this helps! :)

three different are rung at intervals of 36 minutes 40 minutes and 48 minutes if they were rung together at 9 a.m. at what time
Lena [83]

To find the time in which all the bells ring together, we need to find the LCM of 36,40,48.

Prime factorization of 36=2×2×3×3

Prime factorization of 40=2×2×2×5

Prime factorization of 48=2×2×2×2×3

Hence, LCM of 36,40,48=2×2×2×2×3×3×5=720 seconds.

 

720seconds=  

60

720

​

minutes=12minutes

Hence, all the bells will ring together after 12 mi
