Question:
A heated metal ball S is dropped into a liquid. As S cools, its temperature, T°C, t minutes after it enters the liquid, is given by T = 400e−0.05t + 25, t ≥ 0.
a. Find the temperature of S as it enters the liquid.
b. Find how long S is in the liquid before its temperature drops to 300 °C.
Give your answer to 3 significant figures.
c. Find the rate, dT/dt, in °C per minute to 3 significant figures, at which the temperature of S is decreasing at the instant t = 50.
d. With reference to the equation given above, explain why the temperature of S can never drop to 20 °C.
