HELP Derive Newton's Law of cooling

AI Thread Summary
Newton's Law of Cooling describes the rate of heat transfer between an object and its environment, often expressed in terms of temperature difference. The discussion seeks assistance in deriving this law specifically in the context of heat (energy) rate transfers rather than temperature changes. The original poster has found various derivations focusing on temperature but is looking for guidance on the energy transfer perspective. Participants are encouraged to provide hints or resources that can help bridge this gap. A clear derivation in terms of heat transfer would be beneficial for understanding the law's application.

Hey guys was hoping someone could give me a hint for the derivation of Newton's Law of cooling stated in the following equation form:http://img263.imageshack.us/img263/3143/a6e5a27835e9e5738016606.png

Bump!
 
Found plenty of derivations in the form of temperature or temperature change but nothing in the form of heat (energy) rate transfers.

PLEASE DROP ME A HINT!
 

Thread 'Rolling without slipping on a curved surface'

Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .

Thread 'Struggling to understand the concept of this question (ice cube in water optics question)'

TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...
