Question

Becky is going to take her dog for walk in the park, but before she leaves, she watches the weather report. According to the weather report, it is 71.0 ∘f outside. What is the outside temperature in kelvins? Express your answer numerically in kelvins.

Answer 1

Since the temperature is 71 degree, the scale of measurement is Fahrenheit scale.

For converting Fahrenheit scale to Kelvin scale we have the formula.

`T_K = (5)/(9) (T_F+459.67)`

Here
`T_K = 71^0F`

So,
`T_K = (5)/(9) (71+459.67)`

`T_K = 294.82 ^0K`

Outside temperature in kelvin scale
`= 294.82 ^0K`
