If it is zero degrees outside today and tomorrow it is supposed to be twice as cold, how cold will it be tomorrow?

18 below zero. Temperatures are a logarithmic scale, and the amount of heat contained in a given object doubles every ten degrees Celsius (18 degrees Fahrenheit). There is half as much total energy in a gallon of water or a roomfull of air at 18 below as there was at zero.

Hello Antartica. We in the Northeast USA and the rest of the country are looking at 100 degrees plus. Global Warming? I think not. Nature takes its course.
-
0 degrees.....I know your riddles P.S. but if you were going F* it would be 64 degrees
-
Minus ten degrees Celsius. Celsius temperatures are a logarithmic scale and total thermal energy doubles (or halves) every ten degrees.

0° Celsius = 273.15 Kelvin 273.15K / 2 = 136.575K Convert Kelvin back to Celsius: 136.575 - 273.15 = -136.575°C

Well if it *feels* twice as cold, you must be losing twice as much heat from your body. Heat loss is proportional to temperature difference (Newton's Law of Cooling). Body heat = 37 degrees Celsius approx. Temperature difference before 0-37 = -37 degrees Celsius, approx. Temperature difference next day = twice that = -74 degrees Celsius, approx. Therefore, it must be 37-74 degrees = -37 degrees Celsius. It's a good sign that this works in F as well as C: before temperature difference = 32 - 98 = -66 degrees F next day difference: -132 F Temperature outside is = 98-132 = -34 F which is about -37 C

put it in Fahrenheit and you are sorted!
-
too cold to type!
-
The question is....twice relative to what?
-
In absolute terms, it would be half of 273.15 Kelvins. That is, 136.575 Kelvins or -136.575 degrees Celsius.
-
Absolute Zero !! (haha from Florida) ;)
-
-230 degrees F.
-
wow good question, i have no idea! maybe 2 degrees below zero?
-
TO DAMN COLD TO GO OUTSIDE!!!!
-
If you are a man, and intend to remain as one, then don't go outside tomorrow.
-
Zero degrees but feeling much colder ...
-
It says twice as cold which means half as warm.... -136 degrees celsius seems like an extreme number to this equation and 64 degrees farenheit is twice the temperature and therefore, twice as warm; not twice as cold... To me it seems that, 0 degrees C is hard to figure because 0/2=0... not helpful... So I figure If we use Farenheit, this equation is made far easier. 0 degrees C = 32 degrees F 32/2=16 16 degrees F = -8.89 degrees C So -8.89 degrees C is twice as cold as 0 degrees C. note: 16 degrees F = -8.89 degrees C = 264.1 degrees K If I am wrong; let me know how!

time to go to tropical Bali for a holiday.

Zero degrees but it feels colder ...
-
I answered this before but I'll say it again... TO DAMN COLD TO GO OUTSIDE!!!!
-
Mathematically speaking its going to be -136.575 degrees tomorrow :-) Since in absolute temperature i.e Kelvin. As 0 degrees would be 273.15 Kelvin. Half of it is 136.575 kelvin which is -136.575 degrees celcius. However I guess it depends from person to person how they perceive the sense of temperature and the relationship of Temperature to their sensory organs perception of how cold it is. So the average person would feel that it is twice as cold as it was yesterday.

double zero of course, the only 2 green spaces in roulette....duh
-
-2.C
-
First off I need to know what the average is for that area. If it was twice as cold as 0 degrees C then you merely put a minus sign in fron of the average and that'll be the temperature.
-
What does "twice as cold" mean? You need to burn twice as much oil? To wear twice as many coats?
-
it's simple subtraction, no need for a detailed explanation when deleting numbers from a higher source but for a detailed explanation here you go... if the weather is 0.C degrees celcius on the first dat, then TWICE as cold the next day, 0-2=-2 therefore giving you the temperature for the next day, a chilly -2.C degrees celcius
-
I think it would depend on what temperature it was yesterday.
-
convert it to celcius and we wouldnt have this problem, now would we?
-
Cold enough for me to want to be where you are. How many more 100+ degree days can I stand??
-
cold enough that you should STAY INSIDE!!
-
There is no answer to this question, since there is no measurement to the 'twice as' definition...and this is the absolute answer!!!!
