According to Newton’s Law of Cooling, the rate of change of the temperature of an objectcan be modeled using the following
dT/dt=−κ(T−A)
where T is the temperature of the object (in◦F), A is the room temperature (in◦F), and κ is the constant of proportionality.
(a) Use an appropriate method to solve the differential equation.Remember that κ and A are constants.
(b) Use your answer to (a) to solve the following:
On a crime show, a dead body is discovered in a hotel room. A forensic technician recordedthat the victim’s body temperature was 91.4◦F at 6:00 pm. One hour later, the coroner arrived and found that the victim’s body temperature had fallen to 88.7◦F. If the thermostatin the hotel room is set at 68◦F, determine when the victim was murdered.(Assume the victim was a healthy 98.6◦F at the time of death.)

- A piece of chicken is boiled until its internal temperature reaches 165 °F. The chicken is then transferred to a refrigerator held at 49 °F to cool down. The internal temperature of the chicken at time t is given by T(t), and the temperature obeys Newton's law dT = -k(T - Tm) where Tm is the temperature of the refrigerator and k > 0 is a constant. After 5 minutes in the refrigerator, the internal temperature of the chicken is 155 °F. How long will it take for the temperature of the chicken to reach 70 °F?arrow_forwardm An object with mass 64kg has an initial downward velocity of 69.

- A model for the position x(t) of an Olympic jump skier says that the acceleration a(t) = x" is proportional to the square of the velocity v(t) = x'(t). Note this model comes from taking into account the friction of air against the skier, and we are greatly simplifying the problem by not taking into account gravity. In this problem, units of distance are in meters and units of 1. time are in seconds. (a) Give an ODE in terms of v(t) only (meaning: no x or a) that corresponds to this model, and find its general solution v. (b) Recalling that our model comes from taking friction into account, which will slow down the skier, say whether you expect your proportionality constant from la to be positive or negative. (c) Use your solution v(t) from la to find x(t). (d) Use the initial conditions' x(0) = 0 and v(0) = 100 to find the unique solution for x(t), the position of the skier.

After 5 minutes the coffee cools to 65°C. Using these initial conditions: i) Calculate the cooling constant, k ii) How long will it take for the coffee to reach 20°C?arrow_forward
- A model rocket is fired vertically upward from rest. Its acceleration for the first three seconds is a(t) = 90t, at which time the fuel is exhausted and it becomes a freely "falling" body. Eighteen seconds later, the rocket's parachute opens, and the (downward) velocity slows linearly to -11 ft/s in 5 seconds. The rocket then "floats" to the ground at that rate.

Thus, if Tm is the temperature of the medium and T = T(t) is the temperature of the body at time t, then T'= -k(T - Tm) where k is a positive constant. In this exercise, you will verify that T = Tm+ (To-Tm)e -kt is a solution to the differential equation. Here To denotes the initial temperature T(0) of the body.
