Perhaps you should try solving directly from the formula for Newton's Law of Cooling.Nope said:Homework Statement
An object of temperature 60oF is placed in a medium maintained at a constant temperature moF. At the end of 5 mins thetemperature of the object is 45 oF and after another 5 mins its temperature is 36 oF.
Find m
Homework Equations
y=cekt+m
The Attempt at a Solution
when t=0,c+m=60
how would you find c and m??
thx
To solve for m using Newton's Cooling Law, we can use the formula: m = c * t. Simply plug in the given values of c and t, and solve for m.
No, Newton's Cooling Law is specifically used for systems where the temperature change is caused by convection, which is the transfer of heat by the movement of a fluid. It may not be applicable for other types of cooling systems.
The unit for m in Newton's Cooling Law is usually in joules per second per degree Celsius (J/s/°C) or watts per degree Celsius (W/°C). This represents the rate at which the system is losing heat.
Yes, Newton's Cooling Law can be used for systems with varying temperatures as long as the temperature change is caused by convection and the initial and final temperatures are known.
The accuracy of Newton's Cooling Law depends on various factors such as the specific heat capacity of the material, the surface area, and the rate of convection. It is a simplified model and may not account for all variables, so the accuracy may vary in different situations.
