Problem #14 14. After sitting in a refrigerator for a while, a turkey at a temperature of 34°F is placed on the counter and slowly warms closer to room temperature (71°F). Newton's Law of Heating explains that the temperature of the turkey will increase proportionally to the difference between the temperature of the turkey and the temperature of the room, as given by the formula below. T = temperature of object after timet -kt T = (To - T ) • T = initial temperature TS = surrounding room temperature • k = decay constant t = time in minutes) The turkey reaches the temperature of 41°F after 30 minutes. +T 0 S . . al Using this information find the value of k to the nearest thousandth.
Problem #14 continued... b) Use the resulting equation to determine the Fahrenheit temperature of the turkey, to the nearest degree, after 60 minutes. c) How long will it take the turkey to reach 65°F? (Round your answer to the nearest minute)
