How long will it take metal to reach the equivalent ambient temperature?

The answer depends on many factors:
- type of metal and its specific heat capacity
- quantity of metal in question
- current metal temperature
- current ambient temperature
Depending on these factors the answer could range from mere moments to hours or even days.

What is induction pump?
Induction pump is a term used to describe any type of pump that depends on electromagnetic induction for its operation. These pumps are often used for liquid alkaline metals that are expected to reach temperatures between 800 and 1000 degrees Celsius.
Do bullets break the sound barrier?
YesThe sound barrier is roughly 1100fps depending on altitude. A lot of gun rounds are over the 1100fps threshold. Some pistol rounds are under this velocity. It is questionable if it creates a sonic boom, but the speed of sound is definitely reached and there are rounds that reach speeds of over 4000fps.
What is screw thread micrometer?
This is a tool that is used to measure the pitch diameter of a screw. This tool looks like a standard micrometer except that the anvils are specially configured to reach into the screw thread groove and touch the pitch diameter of the screw thread. The screw thread micrometer does not measure any other aspect of the screw thread. It does not measure the: pitch; threads-per-inch; major diameter; minor diameter; flank angles; lead; helix angle.
Head loss in a pipe?
when a pump is used to pump a fluid into a vertically arranged pipe , fixed upright; the fluid would reach a certain height at which point the fluid would stop in a pipe. this height at which the fluid has stopped propelling upward could be described as the head of water. this measure relates to the pump power . should a pipe system be used which is less than the head height then fluid will be seen to flow out and over the side of pipe. if the connecting pipe happens to be of longer measurement than the head, and hence when fixed at height is taller than the head height then the fluid will not likely be seen flowing out of pipe . if a pump is mounted within a basement of work hall, but the resulting pressure is utilised on the ground floor of same building then some pressure will be lost when pumping upwards , and could be described as head loss.
How do you find the firing angle for a projectile given the targets x and y coordinates and initial velocity I would like to do it without calculus if possible.?
They height y of the projectile is given by the function y = vosin(0)t + 1/2gt2, where vo is the initial velocity of the projectile, 0 is the firing angle, t is the time, and g is the acceleration of gravity (-9.81m/s2). The range x of the projectile is given by the function x = vocos(0)t. Rearranging this last equation for time yeilds t = x/(vocos(0)); this will give us the length of time the projectile takes to reach the target. Substituting this into the first equation yeilds: y = vosin(0)[x/(vocos(0))] + 1/2g[x/(vocos(0))]2 this can be simplified further but it is not necessary to do so; plugging it the x and y coordinates, the initial velocity, and the acceleration of gravity, you should be able to solve for 0, which is now the only unknown.
When do things stop losing heat?
When they reach ambient temperature.
What formula can be used to calculate how much additional energy is needed to reach the melting point of stainless steel taking ambient temperature into account?
You simply subtract the melting point of steel, minus the ambient temperature.
What is the temperature of a soldering iron when it is not in use?
If you leave it plugged in/turned on, it will remain hot. If you unplug it/turn it off, it will reach ambient temperature in 10-30 minutes, depending on the size of the iron and the room temperature.
What happens when a cold object and a warm object are placed in contact with one another?
Their temperatures will begin to equalize, and eventually they will both reach ambient temperature.
What is a desert snakes weakness?
any snakes' weakness is that it's body temperature is the same as that of the ambient temperature. In other words, the temp of a snake on a hot rock would reach the same temp of the rock itself
Why you don't burn yourself if you reach inside an oven as long as you don't touch the metal sides?
Because the amount of heat transmitted through the air is considerably less than the temperature of the metal surfaces. Additionally - you're only reaching in there for a few seconds. This is not long enough for your arm to reach a temperature that would be uncomfortable.
When does metal reach the temperatures in which it can melt?
This temperature is called melting point.
What is the Temperature the average corpse gets in winter?
Not being able to regulate body temperature after death, corpse will reach equilibrium with the ambient temterature. So, in like Canada, Norway and Alaska, if outside, they will get much colder (possibly -40F) than in places like Mexico.
If sitting in a spa that is 100 degrees how long until your body temperature reaches 102 degrees?
the body will not reach 102 degrees because the ambient temperature is lower.However, and I hope we are talking Fahrenheit here, should the body come into line with the ambient temperature and then exercise, it would be possible.As for the time that would take, there are too many factors that would meed to be considered, for instance, body mass, fat content, hydration levels etc. Plus you would need to consider where you will be taking the measurement, is it core temperature that you are interested in or skin temperature.Just out of curiosity, why the question?
Are there metals in liquid state?
All metals can be made liquid if they reach a high enough temperature. Mercury is the only metal to be liquid at STP and room temperature though; the others require much higher temperatures.
Why does lithium have a high melting point?
Lithium is a metal and for a metal it has a fairly low melting point (180°C or 360°F) a temperature you can easily reach in your kitchen oven (but don't try to melt lithium at home!)
Are most metals solid?
At normal temperatures, yes, but all metals will liquify if they reach their melting point. Mercury is the only known metal that is a liquid at room temperature.
