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 surroundings. Suppose that the temperature of a cup of coffee obeys Newton's law of cooling. If the coffee has a temperature of 185 degrees Fahrenheit when freshly poured, and 2 minutes later has cooled to 170 degrees in a room at 72 degrees, determine when the coffee reaches a temperature of 130 degrees. The coffee will reach a temperature of 130 degrees in ? minutes

According to Newton's law of cooling, the temperature of an object changes at a rate proportional to the difference in temperature between the object and the outside medium. If an object whose temperature is 70°F is placed in a medium whose temperature is 20 and is found to be 40" after 3 min, what will its temperature be after 6 min?
According to the Delaware River Port Authority, the total length of the Walt Whitman Bridge is nominally 11,982 feet. Assuming that the bridge was made entirely of steel, by how many meters does the bridge’s length change as its temperature rises from a winter temperature of 5°F to a summer temperature of 105 °F? Length change = _________meters. Be sure to first convert all lengths and temperatures to S.I. units
After heating up in a teapot, a cup of hot water is poured at a temperature of 203∘203∘F. The cup sits to cool in a room at a temperature of 69∘69∘F. Newton's Law of Cooling explains that the temperature of the cup of water will decrease proportionally to the difference between the temperature of the water and the temperature of the room, as given by the formula below: T=Ta+(T0−Ta)e−ktT=Ta+(T0−Ta)e−kt Ta=Ta= the temperature surrounding the objectT0=T0= the initial temperature of the objectt=t= the time in minutesT=T= the temperature of the object after tt minutesk=k= decay constant The cup of water reaches the temperature of 182∘182∘F after 2 minutes. Using this information, find the value of kk, to the nearest thousandth. Use the resulting equation to determine the Fahrenheit temperature of the cup of water, to the nearest degree, after 6 minutes.
