A metal beam was brought from the outside cold into a machine shop where the temperature was held at 65degreesF. After 5 ​min, t

he beam warmed to 35degreesF and after another 5 min it was 50degreesF. Use​ Newton's Law of Cooling to estimate the​ beam's initial temperature.

Answer:

The beam initial temperature is 5 °F.

Step-by-step explanation:

If T(t) is the temperature of the beam after t minutes, then we know, by Newton’s Law of Cooling, that

T(t)=T_a+(T_0-T_a)e^{-kt}

where T_a is the ambient temperature, T_0 is the initial temperature, t is the time and k is a constant yet to be determined.

The goal is to determine the initial temperature of the beam, which is to say T_0

We know that the ambient temperature is T_a=65, so

T(t)=65+(T_0-65)e^{-kt}

We also know that when t=5 \:min the temperature is T(5)=35 and when t=10 \:min the temperature is T(10)=50 which gives:

T(5)=65+(T_0-65)e^{k5}\\35=65+(T_0-65)e^{-k5}

T(10)=65+(T_0-65)e^{k10}\\50=65+(T_0-65)e^{-k10}

Rearranging,

35=65+(T_0-65)e^{-k5}\\35-65=(T_0-65)e^{-k5}\\-30=(T_0-65)e^{-k5}

50=65+(T_0-65)e^{-k10}\\50-65=(T_0-65)e^{-k10}\\-15=(T_0-65)e^{-k10}

If we divide these two equations we get

\frac{-30}{-15}=\frac{(T_0-65)e^{-k5}}{(T_0-65)e^{-k10}}

\frac{-30}{-15}=\frac{e^{-k5}}{e^{-k10}}\\2=e^{5k}\\\ln \left(2\right)=\ln \left(e^{5k}\right)\\\ln \left(2\right)=5k\ln \left(e\right)\\\ln \left(2\right)=5k\\k=\frac{\ln \left(2\right)}{5}

Now, that we know the value of k we can use it to find the initial temperature of the beam,

35=65+(T_0-65)e^{-(\frac{\ln \left(2\right)}{5})5}\\\\65+\left(T_0-65\right)e^{-\left(\frac{\ln \left(2\right)}{5}\right)\cdot \:5}=35\\\\65+\frac{T_0-65}{e^{\ln \left(2\right)}}=35\\\\\frac{T_0-65}{e^{\ln \left(2\right)}}=-30\\\\\frac{\left(T_0-65\right)e^{\ln \left(2\right)}}{e^{\ln \left(2\right)}}=\left(-30\right)e^{\ln \left(2\right)}\\\\T_0=5

so the beam started out at 5 °F.

Paul wanted to bring his family to the Children’s Museum. There was an exhibit with carnival rides. The tickets for each ride we
Nostrana [21]

We want to define and solve a linear equation to model the given case.

The answers are:

a) x = number of tickets, y = total cost.

b) y = $1.35*x + $6.35

We know that:

The tickets for each ride were $1.35 per ticket.

Paul purchased 30 tickets

He spent a total of $46.85 (on tickets and admission)

The cost for the 30 tickets is:

30*$1.35 = $40.50

a) Now we can define two variables:

y = total cost

x = number of tickets

b) the linear equation would be:

y = $1.35*x + P

Where P is the price of admission.

And we know that the total cost for 30 tickets is $46.85, then we have:

$46.85 = $40.50 + P

$46.85 - $40.50 = P = $6.35

So the admission price is $6.35

This means that the linear equation is:

y = $1.35*x + $6.35

c) Brief explanation, we have the variable y that represents the total cost, it is equal to the admission price (which we found) plus $1.35 times the number of tickets bought (x).

What letter is s in 8s=1/2
Tcecarenko [31]
We find the value for s here. 

8s = 1/2
8s =  \frac{1}{2} 
 \\ 
8s/8 = \frac{1}{2} /  \frac{8}{1} 



1/2 divided by 8/1 = 1/2 * 1/8 = 1/16

s = 1/16
