NEET Physics Newton's Law of Cooling MCQ Question
Consider a graph showing the cooling of a hot body over time with the temperature difference (∆T = T2 - T1) on the y-axis and time (t) on the x-axis. Which of the following options correctly describes the nature of the curve as predicted by Newton's Law of Cooling?
The curve is initially steep and becomes less steep over time.
The curve is a straight line with constant slope.
The curve is initially flat and becomes steeper over time.
The curve is an exponential growth curve.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The graph shows that the rate of cooling is higher initially and decreases as the temperature of the body falls, consistent with Newton's Law of Cooling.
