Questions and answers..

New questions for Murder, we wrote. It’s exhausting, but I think I’m learning something extra, beyond the normal school program.

1. What is the Newton’s Law of Cooling?
According to Newton, it is the difference between the temperature of an object and the temperature of the environment around that object.

2. What variables in your problem correspond with the variables in the Newton’s Law of Cooling?
The environment temperature; the K, which is the proportional rate to the temperature whether it increases or decreases; the C, which is a constant related to time = 0, and this one takes me to the body temperature (y), where both C and y are the same if time is 0; and finally, there’s time, that varies, as the temperature according to the time it was taken.

3. According to this Law, at what time approximately the death happened?
Well, it was a long process, and a little bit stressful (personal opinion), because we had to analyze six different scenes of the crime, but finally we got to the conclusion that it occurred between 8:43 pm and 9:55 pm.
We have a lot of theories and different points of view, but I’ll take the math expert’s opinion, who thinks it happened any minute among 9:50 pm and 9:55 pm, because of the professor’s condition.

4. How does the room temperature affect the time of death?
If the place is very cold, the body cools faster; and if the environment is hotter, the body takes longer to get cold. It’s obviously easier and more exact to get the answer from a warm environment.

5. How does an illness (e.g. fever) affect the time of death?
Focusing on fever, if the body suffered from it, it would take longer for it to become cold. Depends on the illness to determine if the body cools down faster or more slowly.

6. How exact is the approximation of the Newton’s Law of Cooling for predicting the time of death?
It depends on how long the body has been in decomposition and in the environment, which is a very important factor.
For our project, it can be almost exact or even exact at all, because the environment is helpful.

There you go. I’ve got no words for today either, I’m just too tired and I have other homeworks, but I’ll leave you interesting news here:

HE MARRIES THE WITNESS OF HIS WEDDING.

“You don’t love a woman because she’s beautiful; she’s beautiful because you love her”…right?

See you.
