The percent decrease in temperature will be 25.77. The temperature is changed until the equilibrium temperature.
Temperature directs to the hotness or coldness of a body. In clear terms, it is the method of finding the kinetic energy of particles within an entity. Faster the motion of particles more the temperature.
The given data in the problem is;
Air temperature(T₁)= 97°
Water temperature(T₂)= 72°
The difference in the temperature is;
[tex]\rm \triangle t = T_1-T_2 \\\\ \triangle t =97^0-72^0 \\\\ \triangle t =25^0[/tex]
The percentage decrease in the temperature is;
[tex]\% \triangle t = \frac{25}{97} \times 100 \\\\ \% \triangle t =25.77 \%[/tex]
Hence the percent decrease in temperature will be 25.77.
