On january 22, 1943, in spearfish, south dakota, the temperature rose from −4.00°f to 45.0°f over the course of two minutes (the current world record for the fastest recorded temperature change). by how much did the temperature change on the kelvin scale? hint

27.22 K

Explanation:

T₁ = initial temperature in fahrenheit = - 4.00 ⁰F

T₂ = final temperature in fahrenheit = 45.0 ⁰F

To convert the temperature from fahrenheit to kelvin, we can use the relation

where F = Temperature in fahrenheit  and K = temperature in kelvin

T'₁ =  initial temperature in kelvin = (- 4.00 - 32)/1.8 + 273.15 = 253.15 K

T'₂ =  final temperature in kelvin = (45.0 - 32)/1.8 + 273.15 = 280.37 K

ΔT = Change in temperature

Change in temperature on kelvin scale is given as

ΔT = T'₂ - T'₁

ΔT = 280.37 - 253.15

ΔT = 27.22 K
