Week 7*!!

1. What is the Newton’s Law of Cooling?
*Is the difference between the body’s temperature and the environment’s temperature where we can see the proportional change

2. What variables in your problem correspond with the variables in the Newton’s Law of Cooling?
*The environment temperature
*The corpse temperature


3. According to this Law, at what time approximately the death happened?
*the death happened minutes before that they found the body.

4. How does the room temperature affect the time of death?
* Because the body’s temperature change if the room temperature is cold or hot but always the body’s temperature is greater than the environment temperature.

5. How does an illness (e.g. fever) affect the time of death?
*It affects because if the person before dead was sick the temperature of the body change and it means that he or she didn’t have a normal temperature.

6. How exact is the approximation of the Newton’s Law of Cooling for predicting the time of death?
*It is exact because with this we can see at what time the person dead.
