2. On January 21 in 1918, Granville, North Dakota, had a surprising change in temperature. Within 12 hours, the temperature changed from 237 K to 283 K. What is this change in temperature in the Celsius and Fahrenheit scales?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The temperature change in Celsius is 46°C.

The temperature change in Fahrenheit is 82.8°F.

Explanation:

A degree of Celsius scale is equal to that of kelvin scale; therefore,

[tex]\Delta C = \Delta K = 283K-237K\\\\ \boxed{\Delta C = 46^oC}[/tex]

A degree in Fahrenheit is 1.8 times the Celsius degree; therefore

[tex]\Delta F = 1.8(46^o)[/tex]

[tex]\boxed{\Delta F = 82.8^oF}[/tex]

Hence, the temperature change in Celsius is 46°C, and the temperature change in Fahrenheit is 82.8°F.
