Using Newton's Law of Cooling: The manager of a company was reported murdered, the body originally at 37 degrees Celsius. Suppose that after 4 hours the temperature is decreased by 3 degrees Celsius, and that the surrounding temperature is constant at 18 degrees Celsius, if the body was found at 7pm at a temperature of 29 degrees Celsius, when was the murder carried out?

At 25.0 m below the surface of the sea, where the temperature is 5.00C, a diver exhales an air bubble having a volume of 1.00 cm3. If the surface temperature of the sea is 20.0C, what is the volume of the bubble just before it breaks the surface?
An aluminum rod 0.500 m in length and with a cross-sectional area of 2.50 cm2 is inserted into a thermally insulated vessel containing liquid helium at 4.20 K. The rod is initially at 300 K. (a) If one-half of the rod is inserted into the helium, how many liters of helium boil off by the time the inserted half cools to 4.20 K? Assume the upper half does not yet cool. (b) If the circular surface of the upper end of the rod is maintained at 300 K, what is the approximate boil-off rate of liquid helium in liters per second after the lower half has reached 4.20 K? (Aluminum has thermal conductivity of 3 100 W/m K at 4.20 K; ignore its temperature variation. The density of liquid helium is 125 kg/m3.)
Two concrete spans that form a bridge of length L are placed end to end so that no room is allowed for expansion (Fig. P16.63a). If a temperature increase of T occurs, what is the height y to which the spans rise when they buckle (Fig. P16.63b)?
In a chemical processing plant, a reaction chamber of fixed volume V0 is connected to a reservoir chamber of fixed volume 4V0 by a passage containing a thermally insulating porous plug. The plug permits the chambers to be at different temperatures. The plug allows gas to pass from either chamber to the other, ensuring that the pressure is the same in both. At one point in the processing, both chambers contain gas at a pressure of 1.00 atm and a temperature of 27.0C. Intake and exhaust valves to the pair of chambers are closed. The reservoir is maintained at 27.0C while the reaction chamber is heated to 400C. What is the pressure in both chambers after that is done?
ASK YOUR TEACHER Death Valley holds the record for the highest recorded temperature in the United States. On July 10, 1913, at a place called Furnace Creek Ranch, the temperature rose to T, = 134°F. The lowest U.S. temperature ever recorded occurred at Prospect Creek Camp in Alaska on January 23, 1971, when the temperature plummeted to T, = -79,8°F. (a) Convert these temperatures to the Celsius scale. Th= °C す。= °C (b) Convert the Celsius temperatures in part (a) to Kelvin. Need Help? Read It Watch It
(a) Two teachers enter the teacher's lounge which is kept at a constant temperature of 70 degrees Celsius. They each pour themselves a cup of coffee at precisely the same time. The temperature of the coffee is 220 degrees Celsius. Teacher 1 adds cream (at room temperature) to her coffee. After 15 minutes Teacher 2 adds cream (at room temperature) to her coffee. Use Newton's Law of Cooling to model this situation and predict whose coffee is hotter. (i) (ii) Would your answer change if the cream was kept in the refrigerator at 50 degrees Celsius until used? How so?
Raquel stayed at McDonald's and ordered a cup of hot coffee. When the coffee was served at around 7:00AM, its temperature is 75 degree celsius. The temperature inside is maintained at 18 degree celsius. At around 7:15 AM, the temperature of the coffee dropped by 15 degrees. What is the temperature of the coffee at exactly 7:25 AM? If Raquel wants to drink the coffee when its temperature is 45 degree celsius, at what time will this happen?
The average thermal conductivity of the walls (including windows) and roof of a house in the figure shown below is 4.8 x 104 kW/m - °C, and their average thickness is 20.8 cm.
