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.

russian is not my first language, so i'm afraid i can't write out an answer in russian, but hopefully you can find a way to do so. here's my best translation of the problem: you're given a plot of a particle's position in one-dimensional space over time, and you're asked to find either the total distance traveled by the particle after 6 seconds had elapsed, or the total displacement of the particle after 6 seconds.

if you want the total distance traveled, you would first need to determine the particle's velocity as a function of time, then integrate that over the 6-second interval. we know the position function is quadratic with roots at 0 and 6, so we have

where is unknown. because the position is parabolic, there is symmetry about the midpoint at , and we know that

so that the position function is

which means the velocity is

then the total distance traveled is

so the total distance traveled is 20 m.

on the other hand, if you want to find displacement: the particle starts at and ends at , so its displacement is 0.
