Newton's Law of Cooling

1. What is the Newton’s Law of Cooling?
Is a method that gives you the time aproximmately of the murder, (the difference between its temperature and the temperature of the surrounding environment).


2. What variables in your problem correspond with the variables in the Newton’s Law of Cooling?
the temperatures of the body, the environment. and the time when they took the temperature of the death body.


3. According to this Law, at what time approximately the death happened?
At 8:48 and 8:55 PM.


4. How does the room temperature affect the time of death?
Because the temperature of the room affects the body, for example if the temperature is higher the body would be with a high temperature or vice-verse, and this affect the time of death, because if you get a mistake with all the information of the temperature you're time of death could be wrong too.


5. How does an illness (e.g. fever) affect the time of death?
It increases the body temperature, so it also make changes in the time of death.


6. How exact is the approximation of the Newton’s Law of Cooling for predicting the time of death?
It can be a good approximation if the information you took is exact, but if you get an unknown or an estimated information it can't be an exact approximation.
