Newton's law of cooling states that the temperature of an object changes at a rate proportional to the difference between its temperature 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.

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.

the average speed is 24.57 km/hr

explanation:

earth's surface is mainly heated by the absorption of infrared radiation from the sun.

evaporation occurs because molecules in liquid water are warmed ( usually by the sun) and vibrate quicker, becoming less dense and rise.

condensation occurs because molecules in water vapor are cooled and therefore vibrate more slowly thus becoming more dense and eventually fall to earth.

lines of equal barometric pressure on a weather map are called: isobars : lines of equal temp on a weather map are called: isotherms.​
