Answer: D(t)= 50(4/5)^t
Explanation: If 1/5 of the temperature difference is lost each minute, that means 4/5 of the difference remains each minute. So each minute, the temperature difference is multiplied by a factor of 4/5 (or 0.8).
If we start with the initial temperature difference, 50° Celsius, and keep multiplying by 4/5, this function gives us the temperature difference t minutes after the cake was put in the cooler.
Answer:
Option C: Current X has a lower potential difference than Current Y.
Explanation:
The chart above only shows the potential difference of difference current.
A careful observation of the chart shows that Current X has a lower potential difference than Current Y.
1. friction between water molecules
2. the wave spreads out onto a larger and larger area, so per unit area, the energy of the wave goes down
