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.

In simple harmonic motion, the speed is greatest at that point in the cycle when
Charra [1.4K]

The restoring force in a simple harmonic oscillator acts as a restoring force, acting opposite in direction of and proportional in magnitude to the displacement. This has the result that when the oscillator reaches the equilibrium point, it has gained its maximum kinetic energy (and therefore velocity) while the magnitude of the restoring force, and therefore the acceleration, is 0.

A football is thrown at an angle of 30.° above the horizontal. The magnitude of the horizontal
VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

1.53 s

Explanation:

Initially vertical component of velocity of the ball, uy = 7.5 m/s

Net displacement is vertical direction is zero, Δy =0

Use second equation of motion:

Δy = uy t + 0.5 a t²

Here, acceleration a = -g                           (g =9.8 m/s²)

Substitute all the values and solve for g

0 = 7.5 t -0.5 (9.8)t²

7.5 t = 4.9 t²

t = 1.53 s

g When a thin-filament light bulb is connected to two 1.6 V batteries in series, the current is 0.075 A. What is the resistance
larisa [96]

Answer:

R = 42.67 ohms

Explanation:

It is given that, a thin-filament light bulb is connected to two 1.6 V batteries in series, the current is 0.075 A.

It means that when two batteries are connected in series, then the total voltage is 3.2 volts

Let R is the resistance of the glowing thin-filament bulb. So, using Ohm's law we get :

V=IR\\\\R=\dfrac{V}{I}

So,

R=\dfrac{3.2}{0.075}\\\\R=42.67\ \Omega

So, the resistance of the bulb is 42.67 ohms.
