When a cold drink is taken from a refrigerator, its temperature is 5°C. After 25 minutes in a 20°C room its temperature has increased to 10°C. (a) What is the temperature of the drink after 50C minutes? (b) When will its temperature be 15°C?

@Cha1234 That question is asking for different values.

4. Jaweria

but this site has really confused answer

5. Jaweria

can anyone explain this to me here?

6. chrismoon

I learned this in basic physics, I assume solving the same way. Have you been taught Newton's Law of Cooling?$\frac{ dT }{ dt }=k(T-20)$

7. Jaweria

can anyone explain this to me that how I m getting this answer ln[(20 - T)/(20 - 5)] = - 0.01622

8. Jaweria

when I m calculating it I m getting 1.10623

don't make it so hard it is easier than you think

11. satellite73

work with the differences in the temperature, that is what decays to zero initial difference is $$20-5=15$$ degrees, after 25 minutes the difference is $$10-20=10$$ degrees so the difference has decreased by $$\frac{10}{15}=\frac{2}{3}$$

12. satellite73

i.e. every 25 minutes, the difference in the temperature decreases by $$\frac{2}{3}$$ starting with an initial difference of $$15$$ you can model this by $15\left(\frac{2}{3}\right)^{\frac{t}{25}}$

13. satellite73

after another 25 minutes, at 50 minutes, it will decrease by another $$\frac{2}{3}$$ from $$10$$ to $$10\times \frac{2}{3}=\frac{20}{3}=6\tfrac{2}{3}$$

14. satellite73

that of course means it is $$6\tfrac{2}{3}$$ colder than the 20 degree room, so its temperature is $$20-6\tfrac{2}{3}=13\tfrac{1}{3}$$

15. satellite73

b) when will it be 15 degrees? that means b) when will it be 5 degrees colder than the room set $15\left(\frac{2}{3}\right)^{\frac{t}{25}}=5$ and solve for $$t$$
