Question 963554: According to Newton's Law of Cooling, if a body with temperature T 1 is placed in surroundings with temperature T 0, different from that of T 1, the body will either cool or warm to temperature T(t) after t minutes, where:
T(t) = T 0 + (T 1 - T 0)e^(kt)
and k is a constant.
A cup of coffee with temperature 140°F is placed in a freezer with temperature 0°F. The constant k ≈ -0.0815. Use Newton's Law of Cooling to find the coffee's temperature, to the nearest degree Fahrenheit, after 15 minutes. Answer by Fombitz(32388) (Show Source):
