A heated metal ball is dropped into a liquid. As the ball 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 the ball as it enters the liquid.
(1)
(b) Find the value of t for which T = 300, giving your answer to 3 significant figures.
(4)
(c) Find the rate at which the temperature of the ball is decreasing at the instant when t = 50. Give
your answer in ?C per minute to 3 significant figures.
(3) (d) From the equation for temperature T in terms of t, given above, explain why the temperature of
the ball can never fall to 20 ?C.
