After sitting in a refrigerator for a while, a turkey at a temperature of 39°F is placed on the counter and slowly warms closer to room temperature (69°F). Newton's Law of Heating explains that the temperature of the turkey will increase proportionally to the difference between the temperature of the turkey and the temperature of the room, as given by the formula below: T = Ta + (To – Ta)e kt Ta =the temperature surrounding the object To = the initial temperature of the object t = the time in minutes T = the temperature of the object after t minutes k = decay constant %3D %3D The turkey reaches the temperature of 48°F after 35 minutes. Using this information, find the value of k, to the nearest thousandth. Use the resulting equation to determine the Fahrenheit temperature of the turkey, to the nearest degree, after 120 minutes.

The average temperature of the Earth's surface is estimated to be around 15°C (59°F). However, due to climate change, this temperature is increasing by approximately 0.2°C (0.36°F) every decade. Assuming this trend continues, what will be the average temperature of the Earth's surface in 50 years?
How much heat Q would be needed to completely evaporate 37.5 g of boiling water at a temperature of 100 °C? Express the answer in units of joules. The latent heat of vaporization for water at 100 °C is 2260 J/g. Q =
A cylinder of gas is at room temperature (20°C). The air conditioner breaks down, and the temperature rises to 47°C. What is the new pressure of the gas relative to its initial pressure (p1)?
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.
Muffins are taken out of the oven with a temperature of 200°F and are placed on a cooling rack with a room temperature of 70°F. After 15 minutes, the muffins have cooled to 170°F. If it is recommended to wait 30 minutes before eating, what temperature would the muffins be? Round the value of k to the nearest fourth decimal place.
The formula for converting Celsius temperature, C, to Fahrenheit temperature, F, is F=95C+32. If Fahrenheit temperature ranges from 50° to 104°, inclusive, what is the range for Celsius temperature? Use interval notation to express this range.
We know from Newton's Law of Cooling that the rate at which an object warms up is proportional to the difference between the ambient temperature of the room and the temperature of the object. 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 by y = M + (yo – M)e-kt , where yo is the initial temperature of the object. Suppose your Thanksgiving turkey is kept at a temperature of 40 degrees Fahrenheit until it is put into a 350 degree Fahrenheit oven. It takes 2 hours for the turkey to warm up to a safe eating temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Find the values of yo, M, and k, for this situation, rounding your answers to 3 decimal places. Yo= M = k= Regardless of your answers above, suppose the k value in this situation is k = 0.3. Find the initial rate of increase of the turkey's temperature as soon as it is placed in the oven. Round to 3 decimal places. degrees per hour.
