For each of the following temperatures, find the equivalent temperature on the indicated scale.
(a) −234°C on the Fahrenheit scale ?°F(b) 99.0°F on the Celsius scale ?°C(c) 125 K on the Fahrenheit scale ?°F
For each of the following temperatures, find the equivalent temperature on the indicated scale: (a) −273.15°C on the Fahrenheit scale, (b) 98.6°F on the Celsius scale, and (c) 100 K on the Fahrenheit scale.
In everyday experience, the measures of temperature most often used are Fahrenheit F and Celsius C. Recall that the relationship between them is given by the following formula.
F = 1.8C + 32
Physicists and chemists often use the Kelvin temperature scale. You can get kelvins K from degrees Celsius by using the following formula.
K = C + 273.15
(a) Calculate that value.K(25) =
(b) Find a formula expressing the temperature C in degrees Celsius as a function of the temperature K in kelvins.
C =
(c) Find a formula expressing the temperature F in degrees Fahrenheit as a function of the temperature K in kelvins.
F =
(d) What is the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit of an object that is 272 kelvins?
