Answer:

We conclude that the physicists can change the temperature 20

. Step-by-step explanation: We know that a physicist must make sure that the temperature of metal at 0° C gets no colder than -80° C. The physicist changes the metal's temperature at a steady rate of -4° C per hour. We calculate how long can the physicists change the temperature. We get:
