QUESTION 9 [6]
According to Newton’s law of cooling, the rate at which a substance cools in moving air is proportional to
the difference between the temperature of the substance and that of the air. If the temperature of the air is
250C and the substance cools from 1000C to 800C in 15 minutes, calculate how long it will take for the
substance to reach a temperature of 400C.
