Cooling Derive Law Newton's law

AI Thread Summary

Newton's Law of Cooling describes the rate of heat transfer between an object and its environment, often expressed in terms of temperature difference. The discussion seeks assistance in deriving this law specifically in the context of heat (energy) rate transfers rather than temperature changes. The original poster has found various derivations focusing on temperature but is looking for guidance on the energy transfer perspective. Participants are encouraged to provide hints or resources that can help bridge this gap. A clear derivation in terms of heat transfer would be beneficial for understanding the law's application.

Hey guys was hoping someone could give me a hint for the derivation of Newton's Law of cooling stated in the following equation form:http://img263.imageshack.us/img263/3143/a6e5a27835e9e5738016606.png

Found plenty of derivations in the form of temperature or temperature change but nothing in the form of heat (energy) rate transfers.

PLEASE DROP ME A HINT!

Thread 'Power of a thin lens in a medium is 1/fₘ or μₘ/fₘ ?'

Here is what I tried This question was actually asked in one of our engineering entrances. The answer was 1D. My teachers say that we have to use μₘ/fₘ to get to this answer. I cannot understand why. I'll be really glad if you could tell me the exact definition of power (numerically) that works in all scenarios.

Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'

TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...

Thread 'Struggling to make relation between elastic force and height'

Hello guys this is what I tried so far. I used the UTS to calculate the force it needs when the rope tears. My idea was to make a relationship/ function that would give me the force depending on height. Yeah i couldnt find a way to solve it. I also thought about how I could use hooks law (how it was given to me in my script) with the thought of instead of having two part of a rope id have one singular rope from the middle to the top where I could find the difference in height. But the...
