The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the ratio of the rates of cooling of two spheres with given properties. Let's break it down step by step. ### Step 1: Understand the Given Ratios - The radii of the spheres are in the ratio \( r_1 : r_2 = 1 : 2 \). - The densities of the spheres are in the ratio \( \rho_1 : \rho_2 = 2 : 1 \). - Both spheres have the same specific heat capacity. ### Step 2: Calculate the Volumes of the Spheres The volume \( V \) of a sphere is given by the formula: \[ V = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3 \] Let the radius of the first sphere be \( r_1 = r \) and the radius of the second sphere be \( r_2 = 2r \). - Volume of the first sphere: \[ V_1 = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3 \] - Volume of the second sphere: \[ V_2 = \frac{4}{3} \pi (2r)^3 = \frac{4}{3} \pi (8r^3) = \frac{32}{3} \pi r^3 \] ### Step 3: Calculate the Mass of the Spheres The mass \( m \) of a sphere can be calculated using the formula: \[ m = \rho V \] Let the density of the first sphere be \( \rho_1 = 2 \rho \) and the density of the second sphere be \( \rho_2 = \rho \). - Mass of the first sphere: \[ m_1 = \rho_1 V_1 = (2\rho) \left(\frac{4}{3} \pi r^3\right) = \frac{8}{3} \pi \rho r^3 \] - Mass of the second sphere: \[ m_2 = \rho_2 V_2 = \rho \left(\frac{32}{3} \pi r^3\right) = \frac{32}{3} \pi \rho r^3 \] ### Step 4: Calculate the Surface Areas of the Spheres The surface area \( A \) of a sphere is given by: \[ A = 4 \pi r^2 \] - Surface area of the first sphere: \[ A_1 = 4 \pi r^2 \] - Surface area of the second sphere: \[ A_2 = 4 \pi (2r)^2 = 4 \pi (4r^2) = 16 \pi r^2 \] ### Step 5: Apply Newton's Law of Cooling According to Newton's Law of Cooling, the rate of cooling \( \frac{dT}{dt} \) is proportional to the surface area and inversely proportional to the mass of the object: \[ \frac{dT}{dt} \propto \frac{A}{m} \] ### Step 6: Calculate the Ratios of Cooling Rates Now we can find the ratio of the rates of cooling for both spheres: \[ \frac{\frac{dT_1}{dt}}{\frac{dT_2}{dt}} = \frac{\frac{A_1}{m_1}}{\frac{A_2}{m_2}} = \frac{A_1 \cdot m_2}{A_2 \cdot m_1} \] Substituting the values: \[ \frac{dT_1}{dt} : \frac{dT_2}{dt} = \frac{(4 \pi r^2) \cdot \left(\frac{32}{3} \pi \rho r^3\right)}{(16 \pi r^2) \cdot \left(\frac{8}{3} \pi \rho r^3\right)} \] ### Step 7: Simplify the Expression \[ = \frac{(4)(32)}{(16)(8)} = \frac{128}{128} = 1 \] ### Conclusion The ratio of the rates of cooling of the two spheres is: \[ \frac{dT_1}{dt} : \frac{dT_2}{dt} = 1 : 1 \]

To solve the problem, we need to find the ratio of the rates of cooling of two spheres with given properties. Let's break it down step by step. ### Step 1: Understand the Given Ratios - The radii of the spheres are in the ratio \( r_1 : r_2 = 1 : 2 \). - The densities of the spheres are in the ratio \( \rho_1 : \rho_2 = 2 : 1 \). - Both spheres have the same specific heat capacity. ### Step 2: Calculate the Volumes of the Spheres ...
