The formula below, Newton's law of cooling, allows us to calculate the temperature of an object as it cools. T = R + (T0 − R)e-kt T = temperature of the object after t minutes T0 = initial temperature R = temperature of the surroundings k = cooling rate (depends on the object and conditions) Suppose the temperature in Denver, Colorado was 55°F when a 5°F arctic cold front moved over the state. Using k = 0.012, how long would it take a puddle of water to freeze? (Recall that water freezes at 32°F.)
