Question 1099734: Newton's Law of Cooling governs the temperature of an object T(t)T(t) initially at temperature T0T0 as a function of time when placed in an environment with temperature TeTe . The object's temperature is given by the equation T(t)=Te+(T0−Te)e−rtT(t)=Te+(T0−Te)e−rt where rr is the cooling rate of the system.
Billy Jean cooked 1lb. of linguini in a pot of boiling water (212F). When the pasta was perfectly al dente, she turned off the stove and enjoyed her dinner. When she returned to the pot 15 minutes later, the water was 102F. If the rate of cooling of water is r=0.1r=0.1 , what is the temperature in Billy Jean's kitchen? Round your answer to one decimal place. Answer by Fombitz(32388) (Show Source):
