Suppose a small metal object, initially at a temperature of 40 degrees, is immersed in a room which is held at the constant temperature of 70 degrees. It takes 2 minutes for the temperature of the object to reach 55 degrees. Required:
a. Calculate the heat transfer coefficient r , i. e. the constant of proportionality in the differential equation that describes Newton's law of cooling.
r =

b. Suppose now that the room temperature begins to vary; i. e. Troom(t) = 90 + sin(0.1 t) . Use Newton's law of cooling and the heat transfer coefficient you calculated in the previous step to compute the temperature of the object as a function of time. Suppose that T(0) = 70 . T(t)

In a thunderstorm, charge builds up on the water droplets or ice crystals in a cloud. thus, the charge can be considered to be distributed uniformly throughout the cloud. for the purposes of this problem, take the cloud to be a sphere of diameter 1.00 kilometer. the point of this problem is to estimate the maximum amount of charge that this cloud can contain, assuming that the charge builds up until the electric field at the surface of the cloud reaches the value at which the surrounding air breaks down. this breakdown means that the air becomes highly ionized, enabling it to conduct the charge from the cloud to the ground or another nearby cloud. the ionized air will then emit light due to the recombination of the electrons and atoms to form excited molecules that radiate light. in addition, the large current will heat up the air, resulting in its rapid expansion. these two phenomena account for the appearance of lightning and the sound of thunder. take the breakdown electric field of air to be eb=3.00ă—106n/c. part a estimate the total charge q on the cloud when the breakdown of the surrounding air is reached. express your answer numerically, to three significant figures, using ďµ0=8.85ă—10â’12c2/(nâ‹…m2) .
