A cup of coffee cools from \(90^\circ C\) to \(80^\circ C\) in t minutes when the room temperature is \(20^\circ C\). The time taken by the similar cup of coffee to cool from \(80^\circ C\) to \(60^\circ C\) at the same room temperature is :
\(\frac{13}{5}t\)
From Newton's law of cooling
\(\frac{90-80}{t}=k\left(\frac{90+80}{2}-20\right)\\ \frac{80-60}{{t}^{'}}=k\left(\frac{80+60}{2}-20\right)\)
Dividing (i) by (ii)
\(\frac{10\times {t}^{'}50}{t\times 20}=65\Rightarrow {t}^{'}=\frac{13}{5}t\)
Given below are two statements:
Statement I: The hot water flows faster than cold water
Statement II: Soap water has higher surface tension as compared to fresh water.
In the light of above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below
[JEE Main 2025, 23 Jan (Shift 1)]
Statement I is true but Statement II is false
The viscosity of water decreases with increasing temperature, allowing hot water to flow more easily than cold water. Adding soap to water reduces surface tension because soap molecules disrupt the cohesive forces between water molecules.
The temperature of a body in air falls from \(40^\circ C\) to \(24^\circ C\) in 4 minutes. The temperature of the air is \(16^\circ C\). The temperature of the body in the next 4 minutes will be :
