In a scenario involving two identical objects placed in rooms at 25°C, one at 0°C and the other at 50°C, the object at 50°C will reach room temperature first, according to Newton's Law of Cooling. This principle indicates that the rate of heat transfer is influenced by the temperature difference between the object and its environment, as well as the heat convection coefficients. Additionally, water condensation on the cooler object may initially enhance heat transfer, but could later create an insulating layer that slows the process.

Are you familiar with Newton's Law of Cooling? What does it tell you about this situation?Naser Tay said:If we have two identical objects each placed in rooms at 25°C room temperature. In the first room, the object is at 0°C. In the second room, the object is at 50°C. Which object will reach the room temperature of 25°C first?
