The Temperature of a Cup of Coffee Obeys Newton's Law 140F140 ^ { \circ } \mathrm { F }

Question 4

Multiple Choice

The temperature of a cup of coffee obeys Newton's law of cooling. The initial temperature of the coffee is 140F140 ^ { \circ } \mathrm { F } and one minute later, it is 125F125 ^ { \circ } \mathrm { F } . The ambient temperature of the room is 65F65 ^ { \circ } \mathrm { F } . If T(t) T ( t ) represents the temperature of the coffee at time t, the correct differential equation for the temperature is


A) dTdt=k(T125) \frac { d T } { d t } = k ( T - 125 )
B) dTdt=k(T140) \frac { d T } { d t } = k ( T - 140 )
C) dTdt=k(T65) \frac { d T } { d t } = k ( T - 65 )
D) dTdt=T(T140) \frac { d T } { d t } = T ( T - 140 )
E) dTdt=T(T65) \frac { d T } { d t } = T ( T - 65 )
