(b) A cup of coffee is initially at a temperature of 90◦ C in a room at a
constant temperature of 20◦ C. If the coffee cools to 70◦ C in 10 minutes,
what will be the temperature of the coffee after 20 minutes?
(c) A population of bacteria grows according to the model:
dP
+ 0.2P = 10,
dt
P (t) is the population at time t. Find the population P (t) given the initial
condition P (0) = 5.
10. A hot object is placed in a room with a constant ambient temperature of 25◦ C.
According to Newton’s Law of Cooling, the rate of change of the temperature
T (t) of the object at any time t is proportional to the difference between the
object’s temperature and the ambient temperature. This is modeled by the
differential equation:
dT
= −k(T − Tambient ), where k is a positive constant and Tambient = 25◦ C
dt
(a) State Newton’s Law of Cooling in words. What does the constant k
represent in the context of this equation?
dT
(b) Solve the differential equation dt = −k(T − 25) to find the general solu-
tion for T (t).
(c) An object with an initial temperature of 100◦ C is left to cool in a room
at 25◦ C. After 10 minutes, the object’s temperature is 70◦ C. Find the
value of the constant k. Using this value, determine the temperature of
the object after 30 minutes and sketch the cooling curve T (t).
