dT/dt = -k(T – Ta) where T = the temperature of the body (°C), t= time (min), k= the proportionality constant (per minute), and Ta = the ambient temperature (°C). Suppose that a cup of coffee originally has a temperature of 68°C. Use Euler's method to compute the temperature from t = 0 to 10 min using a step size of 1 min if Ta = 21°C and k = 0.1/min.

Newton's Law of Cooling tells us that the rate of change of the temperature of an object is proportional to the temperature difference between the object and its surroundings. This can be modeled by the differential equation dT = k(T – A), where T is the temperature of the object after t units of time have passed, A is the ambient dt temperature of the object's surroundings, and k is a constant of proportionality. Suppose that a cup of coffee begins at 179 degrees and, after sitting in room temperature of 66 degrees for 15 minutes, the coffee reaches 169 degrees. How long will it take before the coffee reaches 156 degrees? Include at least 2 decimal places in your answer.
The quantity of energy Q transferred by heat conduction through an insulating pad in time interval Δt is described by Q/Δt = κAΔT/d, where κ is the thermal conductivity of the material, A is the face area of the pad (perpendicular to the direction of heat flow), ΔT is the difference in temperature across the pad, and d is the thickness of the pad. In one trial to test material as lining for sleeping bags, 86.0 J of heat is transferred through a 3.40-cm-thick pad when the temperature on one side is 37.0°C and on the other side is 2.00°C. In a trial of the same duration with the same temperatures, how much heat will be transferred when more of the material is added to form a pad with the same face area and total thickness 8.41 cm?
Scientists are studying the temperature on a distant planet. They find that the surface temperature at one location is 25° Celsius. They also find that the temperature decreases by 3° Celsius for each kilometer you go up from the surface. Let T represent the temperature (in Celsius), and let H be the height above the surface (in kilometers). Write an equation relating T to H, and then graph your equation using the axes below. * T axis (y) goes up to 30 (counting by 5's) * H axis(x) goes up to 8 (counting by 1's) **Be sure to write out the points too
