A piece of metal is heated to 428°C before it is left to cool. The temperature of the metal falls at a rate of 23°C per minute f

or the first 3 minutes, at a rate of 15°C per minute for the next 15 minutes and then at a rate of 8°C per minute until it reaches room temperature of 25°C. What will be the temperature of the metal after 9 minutes, and what will be the time needed for the metal to reach a temperature of 25°C ?

Answer:

1) Temperature of the metal after 9 minutes =  269°C

2) Required\ temperature = 31\ min\ 37.5\ sec

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Final temperature of the metal = 428°C

Temperature falls per minute for 3 minute  = 23°C

Temperature falls per minute for next 15 minute  = 15°C

Temperature falls per minute until room temperature  = 8°C

We need to find the temperature after 9 minutes and what will be the time needed for the metal to reach a temperature of 25°C.

Solution:

First part:

As per given statement, the temperature of the metal falls at a rate of 23°C per minute for the first 3 minutes, so temperature falls in 3 minutes.

Temperature falls per minute  = 23°C

Therefore,

Temperature\ falls\ for\ 3\ minute = 23\times 3

Temperature falls for 3 minute = 69°C

After that temperature falls 15°C per minute for next 15 minute, so it is falls in  

6 minutes.

Temperature falls per minute after 3 minutes  = 15°C

Therefore,

Temperature\ falls\ for\ 6\ minutes\ after\ 3\ minutes = 15\times 6

Temperature falls for 6 minutes after 3 minutes = 90°C

So temperature falls in 9 minutes = 90 + 69 = 159°C

So the temperature of the metal after 9 minutes = 428 - 159 = 269°C

Second part:

Temperature falls 23°C per minute for 3 minutes = 69°C

Temperature falls 15°C per minute for 15 minute = 225°C

So, leaving temperature after 18 minutes = Top temp - temp falls in 18 minutes.

Leaving temperature after 18 minutes = 428 - (69 + 225)

Leaving temperature after 18 minutes = 428 - (69 + 225)

Leaving temperature after 18 minutes = 134°C

Temperature falls 8°C per minute until it reaches room temperature of 25°C = 134 - 25 = 109°C

So the rate of the falling temperature = \frac{109}{8}= 13\frac{5}{8}=13\ min\ 37.5\ sec

Required\ temperature = 31\ min\ 37.5\ sec

Therefore, the required temperature of the metal to reach 25°C is equal to 31 min 37.5 sec.

John earns $25 per hour as a part-time firefighter. If John works 30 hours per week, how much does he earn that week?
Tanzania [10]

Answer: $750

Step-by-step explanation:

So we know that he earns $25 per hour, and we want to know how much he earns if he worked for 30 hours which is a week.

25=1

?=30

then we can cross multiply which is

\frac{25(30)}{1}=750

so the answer is John earns $750 a week.

Select the equations where x = 8 is the solution. Select all that apply (select 3).
seraphim [82]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1. x - 2 = 10

x = 10 + 2 = 12

2. 40 = 5x

40/5 = x

x = 8

3. x/2 = 8

Multiply by 2 on both sides

x = 16

4. x + 14 = 24

x = 24 - 14 = 10

5. x + 2 = 10

x = 10 - 2 = 8

6. x/8 = 1

Multiply by 8 on both sides

x = 8

No 2 5 and 6 is the correct answer
