depends...0 degrees celsius? or farenheight (sp?)

If 0 degrees you mean in celsius, it will be 16^F the 2nd day, or -8.88^C (do the math conversions). If in fahrenheit, it all depends on the temperature it was before the day of 0^F. If it was 25 degrees^F on the day before the 0^F day, then it would be -25^F the day after the 0^F day. This is the mathmatical way to answer this.

If in practical terms, cold is an undefined variable in the math problem which would be defined as X. This would turn the mathmatical equation into an algebraic problem. Therefore, your answer will always be another variable. If you tried to punch this into a calculator, you would either get syntax error or just error.

Lets assume that you mean Zero degrees Celsius when you say 0 degrees.
As you know there is energy present in the air at 0 degrees Celsius. Absolute zero (-273) is the coldest it can possibly be because at that temperature there is no energy in the air.
Now there is 273 degrees between 0 and -273. Lets assume when you say that the temperature is going to be 2 times colder you mean it is going to be half as warm. Have as warm is the mid point between 0 and -273.
Therefore the answer is half way between 0- and -273 or ½ times 273 is about 136.5 which is -136.5 degrees.
The answer is -135.5 degrees Celsius. That’s pretty cold and much colder than at the North or South Poles.

A tricky question... Kinda intersting but kinda hard.... 0 degrees in celcious means 273 kelvin. But considering about the questionit says its going to be twice as cold tomorrow...so to obtain the answer we can't just divide 273K by 2 & take it as 187K= -187 celcious.

The measurement of heat is reletive. It depends on person to person & there is no real relationship between the heat & temperature that can be given as a function...

The first answer -187 celcious not realistic & cant be considered as good answer..
Because its not a temperature that a man can live...lol!!!

Anyways I kinda think the answer should be some where around -5 to -10degrees... But it depends on the person who measures it...

Pretty cold!! I live in Florida so when it drops below 50 F, it's cold!! I guess it's all relative. If the average temperature is 10 degrees F, then I would assume it would be negative 10 F. However, I suppose that this is just a relative statement that holds no numerical value.

Celsius to Fahrenheit: °F = °C × 1.8 + 32

0= °C x 1.8 + 32
0 = °C + 32
°C = -32
Today is at -32°C and is twice cold, so tomorrow is half cold of today, hence Tomorrow temperature will be -16°C
°F = -16 × 1.8 + 32
°F = -28.8 + 32
°F = 3.2
Tomorrow's temperature will be 3.2°F = -16°C
Today's temperature is 0°F = -32°C (twice as cold as tomorrow)
So that's my answer :)
The temperature is given in Farenheith but the comparison is made on another Temp Measure... that is my guess

1 F = 32 C
so if 0 F = 0 C

First figure out 'how cold' it is today. We know it's 0 degrees, but how cold is it? How to measure that?

Here's our problem:

TomorrowCold = 2 x TodayCold

Find the variable for TodayCold and multiply by 2....

I get -72 degrees....in an arbitrary way...

It depends on how hot it was yesterday. For example, if it was 40 degrees yesterday and 0 degrees today, twice as cold tomorrow would be 40 below.

I believe there may be no answer to your question - without a specific temperature to define "cold", there's no way that you can calculate "twice as cold". I mean sure, 0 F is pretty cold, but so is 32 F. You need some sort of subjective, possibly arbitrary, definition as to exactly which temperature "cold" starts at.
