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

Answer:

The correct option is;

Sphere I is positively charged and sphere II is negatively charged

Explanation:

The charging of the spheres by induction is achieved by introducing a charge to the metal spheres that are insulated from the ground to prevent loss of charge by placing them on insulating stand

The two spheres are brought into contact by the connection of a conducting wire between the spheres I and II

The presence of the positively charged sphere III draws attracts electrons towards sphere II while the net positive charge moves towards sphere I

While the spheres I and II are still polarized, the conducting wire is removed  while the presence of sphere III continues to keep sphere II negative compared to sphere I

After removing the connecting wire, sphere III is removed leaving the excess negative charge on sphere II and the excess positive charge on sphere I

The net charges then evenly redistribute themselves on each sphere creating two oppositely charged spheres.

A nanometer is a unit of mass, whereas a nanosecond is a unit of time. Question 1 options: True False
Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

True.

Explanation:

A nanometer is a unit of mass, whereas a nanosecond is a unit of time. To convert 1.3 hours to minute, you would multiply by 1 h / 60 min. Kilometer is a unit of length, whereas kilogram is a unit of mass. True.

Answer: Volume = 1080m^3

Explanation:

Given that the prism has a 15 m by 18 m rectangular base and a height of 4 m

Volume is the product of length, breath and height. That is

Volume = L × B × H

Where

L = 18 m

B = 15m

H = 4m

Using the formula above gives:

Volume V = 18 × 15 × 4

V = 1080 m^3
