Answer
Step-by-step solution
5 stepsState the differential equation for Newton's Law of Cooling.
Newton's Law of Cooling states that the rate of change of an object's temperature is proportional to the difference between its own temperature and the ambient temperature.
Here, is the temperature of the object, is time, is the ambient temperature, and is the constant of proportionality.
Solve the differential equation by separation of variables and integration.
Rearrange the equation to separate and :
Integrate both sides:
Where is the constant of integration.
Solve for .
Exponentiate both sides:
Let . Since is an arbitrary constant, is also an arbitrary positive constant.
Apply the initial conditions to find the constant .
We are given that the initial temperature (at ) is . The ambient temperature is .
Substitute and into the solution:Now substitute the given values:
Write the particular solution for .
Substitute the values of and back into the general solution:
This equation describes the temperature of the object at any time .
To find the temperature at a specific time, such as "within 30 minutes" (e.g., at minutes), the value of the constant is required. Without an additional data point (like the temperature at a different time ), cannot be determined. The solution is valid for any time , including within the first 30 minutes.
The solution for the temperature is:
