A thermometer is removed from a room where the temperature is 70° F and is taken outside, where the air temperature is 10° F. Af

Answer:

$T=51.64^\circ F$

$t=180.10s$

Explanation:

The Newton's law in this case is:

$T(t)=T_m+Ce^{kt}$

Here, $T_m$ is the air temperture, C and k are constants.

We have

$70^\circ F$ in $t=0$

So:

$T(0)=70^\circ F\\T(0)=10^\circ F+Ce^{k(0)}\\70^\circ F=10^\circ F+C\\C=70^\circ F-10^\circ F=60^\circ F$

And we have $60^\circ F$ in $t=30 s$ , So:

$T(30)=60^\circ F\\T(30)=10^\circ F+(60^\circ F)e^{k(30)}\\60^\circ F=10^\circ F+(60^\circ F)e^{k(30)}\\50^\circ F=(60^\circ F)e^{k(30)}\\e^{k(30)}=\frac{50^\circ F}{60^\circ F}\\(30)k=ln(\frac{50}{60})\\k=\frac{ln(\frac{50}{60})}{30}=-0.0061$

Now, we have:

$T=10^\circ F+(60^\circ F)e^{-0.0061t}(1)$

Applying (1) for $t=1 min=60s$ :

$T=10^\circ F+(60^\circ F)e^{-0.0061*60}\\T=10^\circ F+(60^\circ F)0.694\\T=10^\circ F+41.64^\circ F\\T=51.64^\circ F$

Applying (1) for $T=30^\circ F$ :

$30^\circ F=10^\circ F+(60^\circ F)e^{-0.0061t}\\30^\circ F-10^\circ F=(60^\circ F)e^{-0.0061t}\\-0.0061t=ln(\frac{20}{60})\\t=\frac{ln(\frac{20}{60})}{-0.0061}=180.10s$

Determine the magnitude of the effective value of g⃗ at a latitude of 60 ∘ on the earth. assume the earth is a rotating sphere.

dezoksy [38]

In addition to acceleration of gravity we experience centrifugal acceleration away from the axis of rotation of the earth. this additional acceleration has value ac = r w^2 where w = angular velocity and r is distance from your spot on earth to the earth's axis of rotation so r = R cos(l) where l = 60 deg is the lattitude and R the earth's radius and w = 1 / (24hr x 3600sec/hr)
<span>now you look up R and calculate ac then you combine the centrifugal acc. vector ac with the gravitational acceleration vector ag = G Me/R^2 to get effective ag' = ag -</span>
