A small metal bar, whose initial temperature was 20° C,
is dropped into a large container of boiling water. How
long will it take the bar to reach 90° C if it is known that
its temperature increases 2° in 1 second? How long will it
take the bar to reach 98° C

To determine the time it takes for the small metal bar to reach a certain temperature, we can use the equation:
Δt=ΔTrate of temperature increase
where Δt is the time, ΔT is the change in temperature, and the rate of temperature increase is given as 2° C per 1 second.
a) To find how long it takes for the bar to reach 90° C:
Δt=90°C20°C2°C/s
Δt=70°C2°C/s
Δt=35s
Therefore, it will take the bar 35 seconds to reach a temperature of 90° C.
b) To find how long it takes for the bar to reach 98° C:
Δt=98°C20°C2°C/s
Δt=78°C2°C/s
Δt=39s
Therefore, it will take the bar 39 seconds to reach a temperature of 98° C.
