Consider a hot baked potato on a plate. The temperature of the potato is observed to drop by 4°C during the first minute. Will the temperature drop during the second minute be less than, equal to, or more than 4°C? Why?
The temperature drop of the potato during the second minute will be less than 4?C since the temperature of a body approaches the temperature of the surrounding medium asymptotically, and thus it changes rapidly at the beginning, but slowly later on.
