On a hot Saturday morning while people are working inside, the air conditioner keeps the temperature inside the building at 24°C. At noon the air conditioner is turned off, and the people go home. The temperature outside is a constant 34°C for the rest of the afternoon. If the time constant for the building is 5 hr, what will be the temperature inside the building at 4:00 P.M.? At 6:00 P.M.? When will the temperature inside the building reach 26°C? At 4:00 P.M., the temperature inside the building will be about °C. (Round to the nearest tenth as needed.)

A patient has an illness that typically lasts about 24 hours. The temperature, T, in degrees Fahrenheit, of the patient t hours after the illness begins is given by: T(t) = -0.012t² +0.3t +98.7. Use your calculator to graph the function and answer the following questions. Round all answers to 1 decimal place. When does the patient's temperature reach it maximum value? Answer: After hours What is the patient's maximum temperature during the illness? Answer:
At 10:30 AM, detectives discover a dead body in a room and measure its temperature at 27°C. One hour later, the body's temperature had dropped to 24.8°C. Determine how many hours had passed since the death occured (when the body temperature was a normal 37°C), by the time the body was discovered, assuming that the temperature in the room was held constant at 14°C. (Use decimal notation. Give your answer to one decimal place. Round any intermediate calculations, if needed, to no less than three decimal places.) the number of hours:
. The hottest temperature on a planet was 864°F recorded on Venus by the Soviet Venera probe and the U.S. Pioneer probe. The coldest place in the solar system is Pluto where the temperature is estimated at 1360.0°F. Calculate each of these temperatures in degrees Celsius.
Problem 3: Newton's Law of Cooling states that the rate of change of the temperature of an object is proportional to the difference between the object's current temperature and that of its surrounding medium. Let y represent the temperature (in °F) of an object in a room whose temperature is kept at a constant 60°F. The object cools from 100°F to 90°F in 10 minutes. How much longer will it take for the temperature of the object to decrease to 80°F?
Problem 21. 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 sur- roundings. Suppose that the temperature of a cup of coffee obeys Newton's law of cooling. The coffee has a temperature of 80°C when freshly poured, and 1 min later has cooled to 70°C, when the temperature outdoors is 0°C. (a) Write an initial value problem for this model. (b) Determine the time when the coffee reaches a temperature of 40°C. (Note: Begin the solution by stating your notation).
Researchers are conducting a study to quantity the thermal conductivity of a composite material. A square box is made from 1,841 cm2 sheets of the composite insulating material that is 2 cm thick. A 138 W heater is placed inside the box. Sensors attached to the box show that the interior and exterior surfaces of one face have reached the constant temperatures of 89°C and 36°C. What is the thermal conductivity in W/m-K?
On a mild Saturday morning while people are working inside, the furnace keeps the temperature inside the building at 21°C. At noon the furnace is turned off, and the people go home. The temperature outside is a constant 12°C for the rest of the afternoon. If the time constant for the building is 3 hr, when will the temperature inside the building reach 16°C? If some windows are left open and the time constant drops to 2 hr, when will the temperature inside reach 16°C
On a mild Saturday morning while people are working inside, the furnace keeps the temperature inside the building at 22°C. At noon the furnace is turned off, and the people go home. The temperature outside is a constant 13°C for the rest of the afternoon. If the time constant for the building is 4 hr, when will the temperature inside the building reach 18°C? If some windows are left open and the time constant drops to 2 hr, when will the temperature inside reach 18°C?
You are put on a wool sweater of approximately 1.5 kg, because it is around 30 °F outside. The wool sweater was initially around room temperature of about 75 °F. It takes about 1.47 J of energy for the sweater to go from room temperature to the temperature outside. What is the specific heat capacity of the sweater? Please express the specific heat capacity in the unit of joules/kg.degrees Celsius
