Temperature conversion: In everyday experience, the measures of temperature most often used are Fahrenheit F and Celsius C. Recall that the relationship between them is given by
F = 1.8C + 32 .
Physicists and chemists often use the Kelvin temperature scale.15 You can get kelvins K from degrees Celsius by using
K = C + 273.15 .
a. Explain in practical terms what K(30) means, and then calculate that value.
b. Find a formula expressing the temperature C in degrees Celsius as a function of the temperature K in kelvins.
c. Find a formula expressing the temperature F in degrees Fahrenheit as a function of the temperature K in kelvins.
d. What is the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit of an object that is 310 kelvins?
