we can to this without calc
Ok,how?
sorry, openstudy keeps glitching
no problem
start at time zero (20 minutes in the past , we can adjust right?)
it was \(70\) above room temp in 20 minutes it was \(60\) above room temp so it took 20 minutes to cool by a factor of \(\frac{6}{7}\) you can use \[F(t)=70\times \left(\frac{6}{7}\right)^{\frac{t}{20}}\] as your function
now don't forget we are starting 20 minutes in the past, so 15 minutes from now is 35 minute all together
Although I believe it wasn't included in the question, the rate of change depends on Delta T. So in time, the rate of temperature change decreases.
\[F(t)=70\times \left(\frac{6}{7}\right)^{\frac{t}{20}}\\ F(35)=70\times \left(\frac{6}{7}\right)^{\frac{35}{20}}\]
we can do it a harder way if you like
tbh I'm a chem e. grad. and I can't focus because I'm thinking of all the parameters etc. that isn't given. It maybe an easy one as you said, if they were meant to be omitted.
