Newton's Law of Cooling

1. What is the Newton’s Law of Cooling?
It is a method used to calculate the time of death of a person, according to the dropping of the body temperature.
2. What variables in your problem correspond with the variables in the Newton’s Law of Cooling?
The environment, if the body had a disease and the temperature.
3. According to this Law, at what time approximately did the death of the person happened?
7:26 pm.
4. How does the room temperature affect the time of death?
Depending on the original temperature, does the change of temperature happen.
5. How does an illness (e.g. fever) affect the time of death?
Because it means that the person didn’t have the average body temperature, so they have no reference and it will not be exact.
6. How exact is the approximation of the Newton’s Law of Cooling for predicting the time of death?
Not very exact, but it is the closest to the truth.
