The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze both the assertion and the reason provided. ### Step 1: Understand the Assertion The assertion states that a solid sphere and a hollow sphere of the same material and radius, when kept at the same temperature, will have a greater rate of cooling for the hollow sphere. ### Step 2: Understand the Reason The reason states that the rate of cooling is inversely proportional to the mass of the body, given that all other conditions remain the same. ### Step 3: Analyze the Mass of the Spheres 1. **Solid Sphere**: The mass of a solid sphere can be calculated using the formula for the volume of a sphere \( V = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3 \) and the density \( \rho \): \[ m_{\text{solid}} = \rho \cdot V = \rho \cdot \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3 \] 2. **Hollow Sphere**: A hollow sphere has less mass because it has a cavity inside. The mass can be calculated similarly, but it will be less than that of the solid sphere for the same outer radius. ### Step 4: Apply Newton's Law of Cooling According to Newton's Law of Cooling, the rate of heat loss (cooling) is proportional to the surface area and inversely proportional to the mass of the object: \[ \text{Rate of cooling} \propto \frac{A}{m} \] Where \( A \) is the surface area and \( m \) is the mass. ### Step 5: Compare the Cooling Rates Since the hollow sphere has less mass than the solid sphere (due to its hollow nature), the rate of cooling for the hollow sphere will be higher because: \[ \text{Rate of cooling}_{\text{hollow}} > \text{Rate of cooling}_{\text{solid}} \] ### Step 6: Conclusion Both the assertion and the reason are true. The reason correctly explains why the hollow sphere cools faster than the solid sphere. ### Final Answer - Assertion: True - Reason: True - Explanation: The reason is the correct explanation for the assertion.

To solve the question, we need to analyze both the assertion and the reason provided. ### Step 1: Understand the Assertion The assertion states that a solid sphere and a hollow sphere of the same material and radius, when kept at the same temperature, will have a greater rate of cooling for the hollow sphere. ### Step 2: Understand the Reason The reason states that the rate of cooling is inversely proportional to the mass of the body, given that all other conditions remain the same. ...
