Consider a graph showing the rate of cooling of hot water over time. If the temperature difference between the body and surroundings is large at the beginning, what happens to the rate of cooling as the body approaches the surrounding temperature?
It decreases gradually.
It remains constant.
It increases gradually.
It fluctuates randomly.
