Talan Gross · Answer 1

this can be solve using newtons heating of cooling

(Ts - T) = (Ts - To) * e^ (-kt)

Where Ts is the ambient temperature

To is initial temperature

T is the temperature at time t

t is the time

k is constant

fisrt solve the constant k for the given first scenario

(99 - 36) = (99 - 46) * e (-5k)

K = - 0.0346

Using k, solve T at t = 13 min

(99 - 46) = (99 - T) * e (-13 * (-0.0346)

T = 58.82 degree F
