Newton’s Law of Cooling Lab Experiment

This experiment was designed to model the process in which thermal energy moves from one body to another. Newton observed that the energy transfer between two bodies is proportional to the difference in temperature between the bodies. The cooling of hot water to room temperature will be observed for the model. Data table: Average room temperature (°C) 30.29 Initial Water Temp (°C) 70.3   Analysis: Newton’s cooling law was given above as: T = T0 e–kt + Troom Match the variables […]
