Which of these differential equations should we be using to model heat loss.
We're introducing two constants here, the ambient temperature of 300 K
and time constant for the heat loss of say 2 minutes.
Should the rate of change of our temperature be that temperature minus the ambient temperature
divided by the time constant or just our temperature divided by the time constant,
or the difference the other way around divided by the time constant,
or just the ambient temperature divided by the time constant.
