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 190 degrees Fahrenheit when freshly poured, and 1.5 minutes later has cooled to 180 degrees in a room at 74 degrees, determine when the coffee reaches a temperature of 140 degrees. The coffee will reach a temperature of 140 degrees in 2.064 minutes.

Two jars of liquid have different temperatures, 77.7 °C and 21.6 °C. They are connected by a rod, which is insulated so that it only transfers heat between the jars. The rod is 4.1 cm long with a radius of 1.7 cm. In 10 seconds, 2,600 J of heat is conducted from one jar to the other. Find the thermal conductivity of the rod.
If you had to drink a cup of coffee served very hot within a maximum period of three minutes, and you had the chance to mix it with a little milk that is at room temperature to cool it down, would you let it cool for three minutes after mixing it? drink it with milk, or first mix it and let it cool for the same three minutes before drinking it? Justify your answer, based on Newton's Law of Cooling.
An underground gasoline tank can hold 1.12 103 gallons of gasoline at 52.0°F. Suppose the tank is being filled on a day when the outdoor temperature (and the temperature of the gasoline in a tanker truck) is 97.0°F. When the underground tank registers that it is full, how many gallons have been transferred from the truck, according to a non-temperature-compensated gauge on the truck? Assume the temperature of the gasoline quickly cools from 97.0°F to 52.0°F upon entering the tank. (The coefficient of volume expansion for gasoline is 9.6 10-4 (°C)−1.)

We turn on a heater that delivers 150 watts (150 J/s) to 1.9 kg of water in a lab experiment. After 33 seconds, how much will the water temperature have increased? Give your answer in degrees Celsius. Hint: The specific heat of water is 4186 J/kg °C.
One 500mL glass of coke is 10°C when 0°C ice is added to the glass. After enough time, all the ice has melted and the liquid in the glass is now 8°C. How heavy was the ice? (l = water = 333 · 103 J/kg, specific heat for coke ≈ water = 4186 J/kgK) My answer is 11,4 grams but the book says 124 g?

In a cold country, an apartment needs 48 kWh of heat to maintain their internal temperature at 27° C. They use parabolic trough to collect the heat from sun and store the hot water in a storage tank whose temperature is at 75° C. What is the capacity of storage tank if specific heat of water is 4182 J/kg C?
In a murder investigation, the temperature of the corpse was 32.5°C at 1:30 p.m. and 30.6°C an hour later. Normal body temperature is 37.0°C, and the ambient temperature was 20.0°C. How long ago (in minutes before 1:30 p.m.) did the murder take place? (Round your answer to the nearest minute.)
