Given information

As per the given question 

  • The room temperature is  and and temperature of coffee is  .

 

Step-by-step explanation

Step 1.

 

  • Because the room temperature is cooler than the temperature of coffee, removing the coffee from the heat source should allow it to cool fast. And by this concept coffee want to achieve equilibrium.
  • As time passes, the temperature difference between the room and the coffee lessens, and the coffee approaches room temperature.

Therefore, the rate of cooling slows down over the temperature.

Therefore,

  • At the beginning the coffee cools quickly.
  • As time goes the rate decreases toward zero
