QUESTIONS! =)

1. What is the Newton’s Law of Cooling?
Is a law that says that the temperature of an object changes proportionally to the relative temperature that it has. You obtain this change by the differenceof its current surface temperature and the temperature of the environment wereit is. This method is used to calculate the time of death of a person.

2. What variables in your problem correspond with the variables in the Newton’sLaw of Cooling?
The environment temperature that was before and at the moment the body was found.The corpse temperature at the moment it was found.

3. According to this Law, at what time approximately the death happened?
Using the newton’s law of cooling we obtained it was between 8:44 PM and 8:55 PM.

4. How does the room temperature affect the time of death?
By turning the corpse temperature into the environment temperature because whenthe person dies, its temperature starts to decrease or increase until it gets tobe the same as the room temperature so if you use the Newton’s law of coolingyou can obtain the velocity in which the temperature changes then with thetemperature that it has at some time you can determine the time of death.

5. How does an illness (e.g. fever) affect the time of death?
It would be harder to deternmine the time of death because if you had fever thenyour body temperature was high and when you die its hard to determine at whatspeed was your temperature changing because with the fever it remained constantin a high temperature.

6. How exact is the approximation of the Newton’s Law of Cooling forpredicting the time of death?
Well, if the death occurred in a closed room it is very exact but if ithappened outside it would be harder to be precise.
