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

Which statement about tempture is correct

Answer:

B temperature is an indirect measurement of the heat energy in a substance

Explanation:

The concept of temperature can be easily understood by looking at what happens when two objects are placed in contact with each other. By common experience, we know that the hotter object transfers heat energy to the colder object, until the two objects are in thermal equilibrium (= they have same temperature).

Thinking about the example above, we can say therefore that the temperature is an indirect measurement of the heat energy possessed by an object (or substance).

For a monoatomic gas, for instance, we define its internal energy as

$U=\frac{3}{2}nRT$

where n is the number of moles, R is the gas constant, and T is the absolute temperature. From the formula, we see that the temperature is related to the internal energy of the gas, so measuring the temperature means indirectly measuring its internal energy.

A positively charged rod is brought close to one end of an uncharged metal rod but does not actually touch it. What type of char

svlad2 [7]

Answer:

The end of the neutral rod which is the closest part to the charged rod would acquire a negative charge.

Explanation:

One of the rods is positively charged and one of them is neutral.

And the important part is that <u>they do not touch one another</u>, but get close to each other.

In this case, the end of the neutral rod which is the closest part to the charged rod would acquire a negative charge. This is because of the Coulomb's Law. The opposite charges exert an attractive force to each other. The positive charges attract the negative charges on the neutral rod.

.89m/s A vehicle that starts to move from the rest gets an acceleration of 5m/s² within 2 seconds. Calculate the velocity and di

GuDViN [60]

<u>Explanation:</u>

s = ? u = 0m/s v = ? a = 5m/s² t = 2s

v = u + at

= 0 + (5 x 2)

= 10 m/s

s = ut + 1/2 at²

= (0)(2) + x $\frac{1}{2}$ x 5 x 2²

= 10 m

Hope this helps!

A stone is thrown vertically into the air at an initial velocity of 96 ft/s. On Mars, the height s (in feet) of the stone above

vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

240 ft

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity = 96 ft/s

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration = 12 m/s² on Mars 32 ft/s² on Earth negative due to upward direction

Mars

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow s=96\times t+\frac{1}{2}\times -12\times t^2\\\Rightarrow s=96t-6t^2\ ft$

Earth

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow s=96\times t+\frac{1}{2}\times -32\times t^2\\\Rightarrow s=96t-16t^2\ ft$

Differentiating the first equation with respect to time we get

$\frac{ds}{dt}=96-12t$

Equating with zero

$0=96-12t\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{96}{12}=8\ s$

Differentiating the second equation with respect to time we get

$\frac{ds}{dt}=96-32t$

Equating with zero

$0=96-32t\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{96}{32}=3\ s$

Applying the time taken to the above equations, we get

$s=96t-6t^2\ ft\\\Rightarrow s=96\times 8-6\times 8^2\\\Rightarrow s=384$

$s=96t-16t^2\\\Rightarrow s=96\times 3-16\times 3^2\\\Rightarrow s=144$

Difference in height = 384-144 = 240 ft

The stone will travel 240 ft higher on Mars

A 120-kg roller coaster cart is being tested on a new track, and a crash-test dummy is loaded into it. The roller coaster starts

avanturin [10]

Answer:

vb = 22.13 m/s

So, the only thing that was measured here was the height of point A relative to point B. And the Law of Conservation of Energy was used.

Explanation:

In order to find the speed of roller coaster at Point B, we will use the law of conservation of Energy. In this situation, the law of conservation of energy states that:

K.E at A + P.E at A = K.E at B + P.E at B

(1/2)mvₐ² + mghₐ = (1/2)m(vb)² + mg(hb)

(1/2)vₙ² + ghₐ = (1/2)(vb)² + g(hb)

where,

vₙ = velocity of roller coaster at point a = 0 m/s

hₙ = height of roller coaster at point a = 25 m

g = 9.8 m/s²

vb = velocity of roller coaster at point B = ?

hb = Height of Point B = 0 m (since, point is the reference point)

Therefore,

(1/2)(0 m/s)² + (9.8 m/s²)(25 m) = (1/2)(vb)² + (9.8 m/s²)(0 m)

245 m²/s² * 2 = vb²

vb = √(490 m²/s²)

<u>vb = 22.13 m/s</u>

<u>So, the only thing that was measured here was the height of point A relative to point B. And the Law of Conservation of Energy was used.</u>
