Questions Part 2

What is the Newton’s Law of Cooling?
That the temperature of a corpse varies proportionally with the environments temperature.

What variables in your problem correspond with the variables in the Newton’s Law of Cooling?
The environment
Temperature of the corpse

According to this Law, at what time approximately the death happened?
WHAT DEATH :o /It is in my homework! =)

How does the room temperature affect the time of death?
Because the temperature changes proportionally to it.

How does an illness (e.g. fever) affect the time of death?
It affects the time of death because you have to look at what temperature does the corpse was before he/she died.

How exact is the approximation of the Newton’s Law of Cooling for predicting the time of death?
Pretty close, but like it says its an approximation =(.. a good approximation =)
