ACTIVITY
5.9.1: Function errors: Copying one function to create another.
Using the celsius to_kelvin function as a guide, create a new function, changing the name to kelvin_to_celsius, and modifying the function accordingly.
Sample output with input: 283.15
\[
\begin{array}{l}
10.0 \mathrm{C} \text { is } 283.15 \mathrm{~K} \\
283.15 \mathrm{~K} \text { is } 10.0 \mathrm{C}
\end{array}
\]
Solution
Solution Steps
To solve this problem, we need to create a new function called kelvin_to_celsius that converts a temperature from Kelvin to Celsius. The formula to convert Kelvin to Celsius is: \( \text{Celsius} = \text{Kelvin} - 273.15 \). We will then use this function to convert the given Kelvin temperature to Celsius and print the result in the specified format.
Step 1: Understand the Conversion Formula
To convert a temperature from Kelvin to Celsius, we use the formula:
\[ \text{Celsius} = \text{Kelvin} - 273.15 \]
Step 2: Apply the Formula
Given the Kelvin temperature \( 283.15 \, \text{K} \), we apply the formula:
\[ \text{Celsius} = 283.15 - 273.15 = 10.0 \, \text{C} \]
Step 3: Verify the Conversion
The conversion is verified by checking that \( 10.0 \, \text{C} \) corresponds to \( 283.15 \, \text{K} \) using the reverse formula:
\[ \text{Kelvin} = \text{Celsius} + 273.15 = 10.0 + 273.15 = 283.15 \, \text{K} \]
Final Answer
The conversion from Kelvin to Celsius is correct, and the final answer is:
\[ \boxed{10.0 \, \text{C}} \]
