After sitting in a refrigerator for a while, a turkey at a temperature of 39° F is placed on the counter and slowly warms closer too room temperature (69°F). Newton's Law of Heating explains that the temperature of the turkey will increase proportionally to the difference between the temperature of the turkey and the temperature of the room, as given by the formula below: T = Ta + (To – Ta)e kt Ta =the temperature surrounding the object To =the initial temperature of the object t = the time in minutes the temperature of the object after t minutes k = decay constant The turkey reaches the temperature of 48°F after 35 minutes. Using this information, find the value of k, to the nearest thousandth. Use the resulting equation to determine the Fahrenheit temperature of the turkey, to the nearest degree, after 120 minutes. Enter only the final temperature into the input box.

A block of ice (m = 9 kg) at a temperature of T1 = 0 degrees C is placed out in the sun until it melts, and the temperature of the resulting water rises to T2 = 29 degrees C. Recall that the specific heat of water is c = 4186 J/(kg⋅K), and its latent heat of fusion is Lf = 3.34 × 105 J/kg. Input an expression for the amount of energy, Em, needed to melt the ice into water. Input an expression for the total amount of energy, Etot, to melt the ice and then bring the water to T2. What is this energy in joules?
A cup of hot coffee sits on your desk. Assume that the thermal energy in the coffee can be converted with an efficiency of 100%% to gravitational potential energy of the coffee-Earth system-enough so that the coffee rises up above the rim of the cup. Let the height of the coffee rise by 3.4 cm. Find the magnitude of the drop in temperature needed to accomplish this energy conversion. Use c = 4180 J/kg⋅C for coffee.
An ice cube at 0 degrees C is dropped into a container with 0.5 kg of water at 20° C. The specific heat of water is 4186 J/kg° C. The latent heat of fusion for water is 33.5 × 10^4 J/kg. 1. If the ice cube completely melts and the water cools to 0° C, then what is the mass of the ice cube?
After sitting out of a refrigerator for a while, a turkey at room temperature (72° F) is placed into an oven. The oven temperature is 350°F. Newton's Law of Heating explains that the temperature of the turkey will increase proportionally to the difference between the temperature of the turkey and the temperature of the oven, as given by the formula below: T = Ta + (To – T)e¯kt Ta the temperature surrounding the object To =the initial temperature of the object t = the time in hours T. the temperature of the object after t hours k = decay constant The turkey reaches the temperature of 114° F after 1.5 hours. Using this information, find the value of k, to the nearest thousandth. Use the resulting equation to determine the Fahrenheit temperature of the turkey, to the nearest degree, after 4 hours. Enter only the final temperature into the input box.
The amount of radiant energy emitted by a surface is given by q = ɛ0 AT+ where q represents the rate of thermal energy (per unit time) emitted by the surface in watts; e = the emissivity of the surface 0<ɛ<1 and is unitless o = Stefan-Boltzman constant (o = 5.67×10% ) A represents the area of the surface in m² Ty = surface temperature of the object expressed in kelvin What are the appropriate units for o if the equation is to be homogeneous in units?

Newton's Law of Cooling says that the rate at which a body cools is proportional to the difference in temperature between the body and an environment into which it is introduced. The temperature F(t) of the body at time t after being introduced into an environment having a constant temperature T is F(t) = T + Cb* or F(t) = T + Cekt where b = e*.
