Part 3

1. What is the Newton’s Law of Cooling?

It is the change of temperature of an object influenced by the rate of temperature from the surrounding environment.

2. What variables in your problem correspond with the variables in the Newton’s Law of Cooling?

The times “T”, the environments temperature “Yt”, the constant “C” value and “K” value.

3. According to this Law, at what time approximately the death happened?

According to the information, between 8:47pm and 8:55pm

4. How does the room temperature affect the time of death?

The time of death change depending to the temperature of the room or environment, when the room is cooler more heat looses the body and when its warmer it’s easiest to get the time of death of the body.

5. How does an illness (e.g. fever) affect the time of death?

When the body had suffered from fever or have injuries it influence the temperature of the body and those facts can change the whole procedure to get the time of death, so those facts have to be in consideration in order to get the right time of death.

6. How exact is the approximation of the Newton’s Law of Cooling for predicting the time of death?

I think it gives you a very close approximation of the time of death if you have all the data right, cause in order to find an exact time of death you have to consider even the minimum thing to make it right.
