Newton's Law of Cooling:
The rate of cooling is proportional to the difference in the temperature
between the object and its surrounding.
Linear Regression:
The process of fitting (minimizing the sum of the square of the deviations)
a cloud of samples by a linear model.
Derivative: the
rate of change of function
Cooling Rate: The rate
at which the substance cools, measured in degrees per unit time (either
degree Celcius per minute or degree Fahrenheit per minute.
Cooling Constant: The
constant of proportionality based on the mass and heat
capacity of the substance, and the insulating factor of the container. |
