Newton's law of Cooling

1.       What is the Newton’s Law of Cooling?   It is a technique used when in
an experimental observation the environment is affecting the temperature of a
body and they compare the temperature of the environment with the one of the body.

2. What variables in your problem correspond with the variables in the
Newton’s Law of Cooling? Temperature of the environment, temperature of the
body, hour of the observation,

3. According to this Law, at what time approximately the death happened?
About 25 minutes before the murder


4. How does the room temperature affect the time of death? Because it
changes the temperature of the body and it is used to know the time of dead


5. How does an illness (e.g. fever) affect the time of death? Because the
temperature of the body changes when there is an illness


6. How exact is the approximation of the Newton’s Law of Cooling for
predicting the time of death? I don't really know but I think that it is very
approximate.

you don´t know the answer for question 6???

Don´t tell that... because it means you did not read the links I gave you...
