Question

According to Newton's law of cooling, how does the rate of cooling depend on temperature?

Options

• Proportional to (T−T₀)²

• Constant, independent of temperature

• Proportional to (T − T₀)

• Proportional to absolute temperature T

Answer 1

Proportional to (T − T₀)

Explanation:

Newton’s law states the cooling rate is proportional to the temperature difference between the body and its surroundings.
