  • A
    Both the cube and the sphere cool down at the same rate
  • B
    The cube cools down faster than the sphere
  • C
    The sphere cools down faster than the cube
  • D

Two circular discs $A$ and $B$ with equal radii and equal mass are blackened. They are heated to the same temperature and are cooled under identical conditions. What inference do you draw from their cooling curves?

$A$ hot body placed in air cools down to a lower temperature. The rate of decrease of temperature is proportional to the temperature difference from the surrounding. The body loses $60 \%$ and $80 \%$ of the maximum heat it can lose in time $t_1$ and $t_2$ respectively. The ratio $t_2 / t_1$ will be

Newton's law of cooling holds good only if the temperature difference between the body and the surroundings is

$A$ body cools from $80^{\circ} C$ to $50^{\circ} C$ in $5 \text{ min}$. In the next time of $t \text{ min}$, the body continues to cool from $50^{\circ} C$ to $30^{\circ} C$. The total time taken by the body to cool from $80^{\circ} C$ to $30^{\circ} C$ is
[The temperature of the surroundings is $20^{\circ} C$.] (in $\text{ min}$)

Two bottles $A$ and $B$ have radii $R_{A}$ and $R_{B}$ and heights $h_{A}$ and $h_{B}$ respectively,with $R_{B}=2 R_{A}$ and $h_{B}=2 h_{A}$. These are filled with hot water at $60^{\circ} C$. Consider that heat loss for the bottles takes place only from side surfaces. If the time the water takes to cool down to $50^{\circ} C$ is $t_{A}$ and $t_{B}$ for bottles $A$ and $B$,respectively,then $t_{A}$ and $t_{B}$ are best related as:
