so what does this mean? what do i do with the conservation of energy?

well i understand but my teacher is really smart. and the way webassign works is that is has a huge databank of questions released from my textbook publisher and it picks questions randomly. so my teacher hasn't even seen all the questions so once in a while a tough one appears such as this one...

i should just give up because this problem is so ridiculous, not even my awesome physics teacher can solve it after i spent 45 minutes with him on it.

so i should just give up and fail

and what variables do i plug in?

can u write an equation for me so i can visualize this better

so can i just say that the rate of heat loss should not have been constant.

so does being proportional mean that the heat loss is constant. i really have no idea how I am going to explain this.

well my teacher wants me to explain my answer using Newton's law of thermodynamics. Newton's law of cooling, states that the rate of heat loss of a body is proportional to the difference in temperatures between the body and its surroundings. The law is given as the differential equation...

thanks

i did 234/.3=780 and got the wrong answer.

then what is the number 383 K for?

could i say at The rate of heat loss cannot be constant because the relationship is not linear but rather exponential.

what does that mean ?

alright i think i almost got this. so the T i am trying to solve for is equal to Tc/.3
