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

  • A
    $A$ and $B$ have the same specific heats
  • B
    Specific heat of $A$ is less
  • C
    Specific heat of $B$ is less
  • D

$A$ body cools from $70^{\circ} C$ to $40^{\circ} C$ in $5 \text{ min}$. Calculate the time it takes to cool from $60^{\circ} C$ to $40^{\circ} C$. The temperature of the surrounding is $20^{\circ} C$. (in $\text{ min}$)

According to Newton's law of cooling,the rate of cooling of a body is directly proportional to the ........

$A$ container with $1 \ kg$ of water is kept in sunlight, which causes the water to get warmer than the surroundings. The average energy per unit time per unit area received from sunlight is $700 \ W \ m^{-2}$ and it is absorbed by the water over an effective area of $0.05 \ m^2$. Assuming that the heat loss from the water to the surroundings is governed by Newton's law of cooling, the difference (in $^{\circ}C$) in the temperature of water and the surroundings after a long time will be. . . . . . . .
