Newton's Law of Cooling states that the rate of cooling of an object is proportional to the temperature difference between the o

bject and its surroundings. Suppose tt is time, T is the temperature of the object, and Ts is the surrounding temperature. The following differential equation describes Newton's Law dTdt=k(T−Ts),where k is a constant. Suppose that we consider a 90∘C cup of coffee in a 24∘C room. Suppose it is known that the coffee cools at a rate of 1∘C/min. when it is 70∘C. Answer the following questions.
1. Find the constant k in the differential equation.
Answer (in per minute): k=

2. What is the limiting value of the temperature?
Answer (in Celsius): T=

3. Use Euler's method with step size h=2 minutes to estimate the temperature of the coffee after 10 minutes.

Answer:

1) k=-\frac{1}{46}\approx -0.02 

2) \textit{Limiting value} = 24

3) T(10)\approx \frac{494611944}{6436343}\approx 76.8

Explanation:

First of all note that  

T_s=24 is the surroundings temperature, the temperature of the room where the cup of coffee is. Then, the differential equation is:  

\frac{dT}{dt}=k(T-24)

Also, note that all units are in degrees celsius and minutes. Then, we don't have to convert units. Let's not write units explicitly from now on.  

Explanation  

1) We have that  

\textit{rate of cooling}=\frac{dT}{dt}=1,\quad T=70

at some point - the exact time at which this is true doesn't really play any role because the equation doesn't have t on the right hand side. Then, from the equation we get  

1=-(70-24)=46k\Rightarrow k=-\frac{1}{46}\approx -0.02

The minus comes from considering the temperature must decrease. With this value we can write the equation more explicitely:  

\frac{dT}{dt}=-\frac{1}{46}(T-24)

2) The coffee is cooling off as time goes by, and it won't get any cooler than 24 degrees celsius because that's the temperature of the room. Then, in the long run, the temperature of the coffee is 24 degrees celsius.  

3) Remember that Euler's method consists of using an initial exact measurement to predict what will happen in the future, approximately. There is a formula to make those predictions an it depends on the time step they gave us. Let's compute things first and then I tell you the equations we used.  

In this case we know that we start with a 90 degrees celsius cup of coffee, or, in terms of math,  

T(0)=90

Then, we can predict:  

T(2)\approx 90+2\left[-\frac{1}{46}(90-24)\right]=\frac{2004}{23}\approx 87.1

Let's use fractions so we don't lose accuracy from now. With this number we can make an approximation of the temperature after 2 more seconds:  

T(4)\approx \frac{2004}{23}+2\left[-\frac{1}{46}\left(\frac{2004}{23}-24\right)\right]=\frac{44640}{529}\approx 84.4

and then  

T(6)\approx \frac{44640}{529}+2\left[-\frac{1}{46}\left(\frac{44640}{529}-24\right)\right]=\frac{994776}{12167}\approx 81.8

and then  

T(8)\approx \frac{994776}{12167}+2\left[-\frac{1}{46}\left(\frac{994776}{12167}-24\right)\right]=\frac{22177080}{279841}\approx 79.2  

and finally, the number we wanted to find:

T(10)\approx \frac{22177080}{279841}+2\left[-\frac{1}{46}\left(\frac{22177080}{279841}-24\right)\right]=\frac{494611944}{6436343}\approx 76.8  

I hope you noticed the pattern to compute the next prediction:  

\textit{next prediction} = \textit{previous one (or exact value if it's the first step)}\\+ h\ast(\textit{right hand side of the differential equation at the previous one})

SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Given Information:  

Resistance of circular loop = R = 0.235 Ω 

Radius of circular loop = r = 0.241 m

Number of turns = n = 10

Voltage = V = 13.1 V

Required Information:  

Magnetic field = B = ?  

Answer:  

Magnetic field = 0.00145 T

Explanation:  

In a circular loop of wire with n number of turns and radius r and carrying a current I induces a magnetic field B

B = μ₀nI/2r

Where μ₀= 4πx10⁻⁷ is the permeability of free space  and current in the loop is given by

I = V/R

I = 13.1/0.235

I = 55.74 A

B = 4πx10⁻⁷*10*55.74/2*0.241

B = 0.00145 T

Therefore, the magnetic field at the center of this circular loop is 0.00145 T

There are a variety of waves from light waves to mechanical waves. Waves can exhibit different effects like the Doppler Effect.

All light waves behave in a similar manner. They either get  transmitted, reflected, absorbed, refracted, polarized, diffracted, or scattered based off of the composition of the object and the wavelength of the light.

According to Wikipedia, “One important property of mechanical waves is that their amplitudes are measured in an unusual way, displacement divided by (reduced) wavelength. When this gets comparable to unity, significant nonlinear effects such as harmonic generation may occur, and, if large enough, may result in chaotic effects.” Mechanical waves are chaotic and its “amplitudes” are measured unusually.

Diffraction is when light bends around objects and spread after passing out through small openings. “Diffraction occurs with all waves, including sound waves, water waves, and electromagnetic waves such as light that the eye can see.”-Wikipedia. Here is the formula to Diffraction: <em>d </em>sin <em>θ </em>= <em>nλ</em>

Doppler effect can occur for any type of wave like sound or water waves. An example of this is when we hear a police car with its sirens on, coming towards us. The closer you are to the police car, the higher the wavelength, but the farther away you are, the lower the wavelength.

What is the sum of 9260 and 3240?
Ket [755]
The sum is the result of adding 9260 and 3240 together. Each number can be broken down into constituent parts in order to make addition easier. Each place in the number represents its value, so a 2 in the hundreds place represents 200.
You can separate numbers out this way to make it easier to add them. 9260 can be broken down into 9000+200+60 while 3240 is 3000+200+40. You can then add these six numbers together.

60+40 = 100
200+200 = 400
9000+3000 = 12000

Then add your three partial results together to receive the final answer:

12000+400+100 = 12500
