The temperature of a cup of coffee t minutes after it is poured and placed on the kitchen table is given by: Ct= 77 + 110·e-0.04t where C(t) is in degrees Fahrenheit. (a) What is the initial temperature of the coffee when it is poured? Explain. (b) In order to safely drink the coffee, it must be less than 150 degrees Fahrenheit and greater than 110 degrees Fahrenheit. When will the temperature of the coffee reach between 150 degrees F and 110 degrees F.? (c) What is the temperature of the kitchen that the coffee is sitting in? Explain how.

A cup of tea is cooling in a room that has a constant temperature of 70 degrees Fahrenheit (F). If the initial temperature of the tea, at time t=0 minutes, is 200 F and the temperature of the tea changes at the rate: R(t) -6.89e^(-.053t) degrees Fahrenheit per minute, what is the temperature, to the nearest degree, of the tea after 4 minutes? 2. On the closed interval [2, 4], which of the following could be the graph of a...

Suppose a cup of coffee is 160 degrees right after the coffee is poured. You are only comfortable drinking coffee when it cools to 120 degrees. You check after five minutes, and the coffee is still hot (135 degrees!). When will you be able to first comfortably sip the coffee? Note: The equation for Newton’s law of cooling is ?? = ? (? − ??); its solution is:T(t) = Ts + (T0 – Ts) e^kt. Assume the surrounding temperature is...

In 1701, Issac Newton proved his Law of Cooling: T(t) =Aekt +Ta, which is an exponential model that relates the temperature of an object T as a function of time t (we will use minutes) that is placed in an environment with ambient temperature Ta. Suppose a cup of hot coffee is served at 160◦F and placed in a room with an ambient temperature 75◦. After 5 minutes, the cup of coffee has a temperature of 131◦F. a) Create a...

1. Solve the given initial value problem. dy/dt = (t^3 + t)/(y^2); y(0) = 2 . 2. We know from Newton’s Law of Cooling that the rate at which a cold soda warms up is proportional to the difference between the ambient temperature of the room and the temperature of the drink. The differential equation corresponding to this situation is given by y' = k(M − y) where k is a positive constant. The solution to this equation is given...

Use laplace transform in solving the ff.: After cooking for 45 minutes, when a cake is removed from an oven its temperature is measured at 300°F. 3 minutes later its temperature is 200°F. The oven is not preheated, so at t=0, when the cake mixture is placed into the oven, the temperature inside the oven is also 70°F. The temperature of the oven increases linearly until t=4 minutes, when the desired temperature of 300°F is attained; thereafter the oven temperature...
