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 185 degrees Fahrenheit when freshly poured, and 3 minutes later has cooled to 172 degrees in a room at 78 degrees, determine when the coffee reaches a temperature of 147 degrees.

Answer:

6.77 minutes

Explanation:

172 degree - 78 degree = (185 degree - 78 degree)e−2 k

=> 94 = 107

e−2 k => 94 ÷ 107

k => ln (94÷107) / 2

147 - 78 = (185 - 78)e ^[ln (94÷107) / 2]

=> 69 = 107 e^ [ln (94÷107) / 2]

e^[ln (94÷107) / 2] =69 ÷ 107

=> t = [ln (69 ÷ 107)] ÷ [ln (94÷107) / 2]

t=> -0.4387 ÷ -0.0648

t => 6.77 minutes.

Therefore, the final answer to the question is 6.77 minutes.

Which of the following is a form of pollution created when vehicle exhaust interacts with sunlight?
SVEN [57.7K]

Photochemical smog is formed when primary air pollutants interact with sunlight.

Photochemical smog is the result of the reaction between pollutants like  nitrogen oxides (NO), sunlight and volatile organic compound (VOC) in the atmosphere. The sources of NO are car exhaust, coal power plants, factory emissions, etc. This type of smog is also known by the name Los Angeles smog.

Air pollutants are the particles present dissolved in the air, which when inhaled by the organisms can cause serious health issues. These pollutants are :ozone, particulate matter, gaseous oxides, etc. These pollutants majorly affect the respiratory system of the humans.

Therefore, photochemical smog is a form of pollution created when vehicle exhaust interacts with sunlight.

1) Arrange the following spectral regions in order of increasing energy: infrared, microwave, ultraviolet, visible.
Anton [14]

Answer:

The order of increasing energy is as follows

"microwave < infrared < visible < ultraviolet"

Option (A) is correct.

Explanation:

Given:

Arrange the following spectral regions in order of increasing energy: infrared, microwave, ultraviolet, visible.

From the formula of energy in terms of frequency.

  E = hf

Where h = planck constant, f = frequency of light.

From above formula we can conclude that higher frequency means higher energy.

In our case ultraviolet has higher frequency and microwave has lower frequency.

So ultraviolet has higher energy and microwave has lower energy.

microwave < infrared < visible < ultraviolet

Therefore, the order of increasing energy is as follows

"microwave < infrared < visible < ultraviolet"
