Investigation: Logarithms (HSC SSCE Mathematics Advanced): Flashcards

$T(t) = T_{env} + (T_0 - T_{env})e^{-kt}$

Temperature of the body at time $t$

Temperature of the surrounding environment

Initial temperature of the body

A constant that depends on the specific situation

$\ln$

Logarithms are the inverse of exponential functions

Exponential, not linear

Rapid at first, then slows down

Approximately 37°C
