A thermometer is removed from a room where the temperature is 70° F and is taken outside, where the air temperature is 10° F. After one-half minute the thermometer reads 40° F. What is the reading of the thermometer at t = 1 min? (Round your answer to two decimal places.) 13.75 Incorrect: Your answer is incorrect. ° F How long will it take for the thermometer to reach 20° F? (Round your answer to two decimal places.) 0.29 Incorrect: Your answer is incorrect. min

Respuesta :

Answer:

a. 70° F    b. 0.17min

Explanation:

The fahrenheit scale to time can be given with the following mathematical relation

[tex]\frac{f2-f0}{f1-f0} =\frac{t2-t0}{t1-t0}[/tex]

f2=?

f0=10° F

f1=40° F

t2=1min

t0=0

t1=1/2min

[tex]\frac{f2-10}{40-10} =\frac{1-0}{.5-0}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{f2-10}{30} =\frac{1}{.5}[/tex]

f2-10=60

f2=70° F

b. Goin by the previous relation

[tex]\frac{f2-f0}{f1-f0} =\frac{t2-t0}{t1-t0}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{40-10}{20-10} =\frac{.5-0}{t1-0}[/tex]

30/10=0.5/t0

30t0=5

t0=1/6

t0=0.16666666666666666666666666666667

t0=0.17min

from this, it can concluded that temperature outside increases with time
