- Newton's Law of Cooling The temperature, u, of a heated object at a given time t can be modeled by the equation u(t) = T+ (uo - T)et where k < 0 is a constant, T is constant ambient temperature, and up is the initial temperature of the heated object. Suppose that an object has been heated to 90 degrees celsius and is then allowed to cool in a room that is kept at a constant 45 degrees celsius. If the temperature of the object is 73 degrees celsius after 8 minutes, when will its temperature be 58 degrees celsius? minutes.arrow_forward1.2-kg of ice at -6.0°C is dropped into 5.0 L (5.566-kg) of car coolant. The initial temperature of the coolant is 25.0°C. The ice and coolant are insulated, so energy transfers to the outside is negligible. After hours, all ice melts and the final temperature of the mixture of water-coolant is 1.8°C. The specific heat of ice is 2090 J/kg °C; the specific heat of water is 4186 J/kg °C; the latent heat of fusion for water is 334000 J/kg. A. What is the energy needed for heating the ice to 0 °C? B. Determine the energy needed to melt the ice into water. C. Determine the total energy needed to heat the -6.0°C ice to 1.8°C water. (Please note: the total energy also includes the part heating water from 0.0 °C to 1.8 °C.) D. Determine the specific heat capacity of the coolant.arrow_forwardThe Eiffel Tower is a steel structure whose height increases by 19.7 cm when the temperature changes from -9 to +41 °C.
