A small metal bar, whose initial temperature was 20° C, is dropped into a large container of bowling water. How long will it take the bar to reach 90°C if it is known that its temperature increase to 22°C in 1 second?

To determine how long it will take for the metal bar to reach a temperature of 90°C, given that its temperature increases to 22°C in 1 second, we can make use of a linear relationship between temperature and time.
Let's denote the initial temperature of the metal bar as T0 (20°C) and the time it takes for the bar to reach 90°C as t (unknown).
We know that the temperature change over time can be represented by a linear equation:
ΔT=m·Δt
where ΔT is the change in temperature, m is the slope, and Δt is the change in time.
From the given information, we have ΔT=22°C20°C=2°C and Δt=1 second. Substituting these values into the equation, we get:
2°C=m·1
Simplifying, we find m=2°C/s.
Now, let's determine the time it takes for the temperature to increase from 20°C to 90°C using the slope:
ΔT=m·Δt
90°C20°C=2°C/s·Δt
70°C=2°C/s·Δt
Simplifying further, we find:
Δt=70°C2°C/s
Δt=35 seconds
Therefore, it will take 35 seconds for the metal bar to reach a temperature of 90°C.
