NEET Physics Newton's Law of Cooling MCQ Question
Consider a graph that depicts the cooling curve of a hot body plotted with the temperature difference (ΔT = T2 - T1) on the y-axis and time on the x-axis. Which of the following statements correctly describes the initial part of the curve?
The rate of cooling is highest at the beginning.
The rate of cooling is constant throughout.
The rate of cooling decreases as time progresses.
The rate of cooling is the lowest at the beginning.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
According to the NCERT context, the initial rate of cooling is higher when the temperature difference is larger, and it decreases as the temperature of the body falls.
