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

A student hears a police siren. What would change the frequency that the student hears? Check all that apply.
ser-zykov [4K]
<span>A student hears a police siren.

The arithmetic of the Doppler Effect shows that if the distance between
the source and observer is changing, then the observer hears a different
frequency compared to the frequency actually radiating from the source. 

Thus the first four choices would cause the student to hear a different
frequency:

-- if the student walked toward the police car
-- if the student walked away from the police car
-- if the police car moved toward the student
-- if the police car moved away from the student

The last two choices wouldn't affect the frequency heard by the student,
since the perceived frequency of a sound doesn't depend on its intensity.

-- if the intensity of the siren increased
-- if the intensity of the siren decreased.</span>

A man starts walking north at 2 ft/s from a point p. five minutes later a woman starts walking south at 4 ft/s from a point 500
icang [17]
Refer to the diagram shown below.

After 5 minutes (300 seconds):
The man travels north by (2 ft/s)*(300 s) = 600 ft
The woman, located at q, 500 east of p, begins walking south at 4 ft/s.
The distance separating them is
d₁ = √(600² + 500²) = 781.025 ft

After 20 minutes:
The man has traveled for 20 minutes (1200 s).
The woman has traveled for 15 minutes (900 s).
The man has moved (2 ft/s)*(1200 s) = 2400 ft north of p.
The woman has moved (4 ft/s)*(900 s) = 3600 ft south of q.
The distance separating them is
d₂ = √(6000² + 500²) = 6020.8 ft

The separation from d₁ to d₂ occurs in 15 minutes (900s).
Therefore the rate of separation is
Rate = (d₂ - d₁ ft)/(900 s) = (6020.8 - 781.025)/900 = 5.822 ft/s
or
Rate = (5.822 ft/s)*(60 s/min) = 349.32 ft/min

Answer: 349.32 ft/min (or 5.82 ft/s)

An electron with velocity v = 1.0 ´ 106 m/s is sent between the plates of a capacitor where the electric field is E = 500 V/m. I
oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

The deviation in path is 4.39 \times 10^{-3}

Explanation:

Given:

Velocity v = 1 \times 10^{6} \frac{m}{s}

Electric field E = 500 \frac{V}{m}

Distance x = 1 \times 10^{-2} m

Mass of electron m = 9.1 \times 10^{-31} kg

Charge of electron q = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} C

Time taken to travel distance,

    t = \frac{x}{v}

    t = \frac{1 \times 10^{-2} }{1 \times 10^{6} }

    t = 10^{-8} sec

Acceleration is given by,

  F = qE

ma = qE

   a = \frac{qE}{m}

   a = \frac{1.6 \times 10^{-19} \times 500}{9.1 \times 10^{-31} }

   a = 8.77 \times 10^{13} \frac{m}{s^{2} }

For finding the distance, we use kinematics equations.

   y = vt + \frac{1}{2}  at^{2}

Where v = 0 because here initial velocity zero

   y = \frac{1}{2} at^{2}

   y = \frac{1}{2} \times  8.77 \times 10^{13 } \times (10^{-2} )^{2}

   y = 4.39 \times 10^{-3} m

Therefore, the deviation in path is 4.39 \times 10^{-3}
