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.

A 0.405 kg mass is attached to a spring with a force constant of 26.3 N/m and released from rest a distance of 3.31 cm from the
miv72 [106K]

Answer:

0.231 m/s

Explanation:

m = mass attached to the spring = 0.405 kg

k = spring constant of spring = 26.3 N/m

x₀ = initial position = 3.31 cm = 0.0331 m

x = final position = (0.5) x₀ = (0.5) (0.0331) = 0.01655 m

v₀ = initial speed = 0 m/s

v = final speed = ?

Using conservation of energy

Initial kinetic energy + initial spring energy = Final kinetic energy + final spring energy

(0.5) m v₀² + (0.5) k x₀² = (0.5) m v² + (0.5) k x²

m v₀² + k x₀² = m v² + k x²

(0.405) (0)² + (26.3) (0.0331)² = (0.405) v² + (26.3) (0.01655)²

v = 0.231 m/s
