The Water Cooling Experiment
During this lab we measured, using our CBL's and graphing calculators, the change in temperature of a glass of boiling water left to cool in a room. The purpose of the lab is to see how exponential functions can be applied to real-life applications. During the experiment I'm expecting for the water temperature to decrease as soon as the water is taken of off the heating device. If the water is left in the room long enough, the temperature will be able to reach room temperature, no less.
Using the calculator, CBL, and temperature probe, the room temperature…
