Newton's law of cooling states that the temperature of an object changes at a rate proportional to the difference between its te

mperature and that of its surroundings. Suppose that the temperature of a cup of coffee obeys Newton's law of cooling. If the coffee has a temperature of 205 degrees Fahrenheit when freshly poured, and 2.5 minutes later has cooled to 195 degrees in a room at 70 degrees, determine when the coffee reaches a temperature of 160 degrees.

Answer:

Tt = 70 + 135e^-0.031t

13 minutes

Explanation:

Given that :

Initial temperature, Ti = 205°

Temperature after 2.5 minutes = 195°

Temperature of room, Ts= 70

Using the relation :

Tt = Ts + Ce^-kt

Temperature after time, t

When freshly poured, t = 0

205 = 70 + Ce^-0k

205 = 70 + C

C = 205 - 70 = 135°

T after 2.5 minutes to find proportionality constant, k

Tt = Ts + Ce^-kt

195 = 70 + 135e^-2.5k

125 = 135e^-2.5k

125 / 135 = e^-2.5k

0.9259 = e^-2.5k

Take In of both sides :

−0.076989 = - 2.5k

k = −0.076989 / - 2.5

k = 0.031

Equation becomes :

Tt = 70 + 135e^-0.031t

t when Tt = 160

160 = 70 + 135e^-0.031k

90 = 135e^-0.031t

90/135 = e^-0.031t

0.6667 = e^-0.031t

In(0.6667) = - 0.031t

−0.405465 = - 0.031t

t = 0.405465/ 0.031

t = 13.071

t = 13 minutes

Calculate the maximum absolute uncertainty for R if:
Radda [10]

Answer:

ΔR = 9 s

Explanation:

To calculate the propagation of the uncertainty or absolute error, the variation with each parameter must be calculated and the but of the cases must be found, which is done by taking the absolute value

           

The given expression is      R = 2A / B

the uncertainty is                 ΔR = | \frac{dR}{dA} | ΔA + | \frac{ dR}{dB} | ΔB

we look for the derivatives

     \frac{dR}{dA} = 9 / B

     \frac{dR}{dB} = 9A ( - \frac{1}{B^2 } )

we substitute

     ΔR = \frac{9}{B}  ΔA + \frac{9A}{B^2}  ΔB

the values ​​are

     ΔA = 2 s

     ΔB = 3 s

 

     ΔR = \frac{9}{11}   2 + \frac{9 \ 32}{11^2 }  3

     ΔR = 1.636 + 7.14

     ΔR = 8,776 s

the absolute error must be given with a significant figure

     ΔR = 9 s

The equation for range is:

R = v₀²sin(2θ)/g
To find the maximum R, differentiate the equation and equate to zero. The solution is as follows:

dR/dθ = (v₀²/g)(sin 2θ)
dR/dθ = (v₀²/g)(cos 2θ)(2) = 0
cos 2θ = 0
2θ = cos⁻¹ 0 = 90
θ = 90/2
<em>θ = 45°</em>
