According to Newton's law of cooling, the temperature of an object changes at a rate proportional to the difference in temperature between the object and the outside medium. If an object whose Temperature is 70°F is placed in a medium whose temperature is 20°F and is found to be 40°F after 3 minutes, what will its temperature be after 6 minutes?

• 25°F
• 26°F
• 27°F
• 28°F

An object having a temperature of 90°F is placed in an environment kept at 60°F. Ten minutes later the object has cooled to 88°F. What will be the temperature of the object after it has been in this environment for 20 minutes?

• 66.13°F
• 76.04°F
• 86.13°F

An object having a temperature of 90°F is placed in an environment kept at 60°F. Ten minutes later the object has cooled to 88°F. How long will it take for the object to cool to 65°F?
