Newton’s Law of Cooling

1. What is the Newton’s Law of Cooling?
It is the variation of a corpse according to the difference between its temperature and the environmental temperature.
2. What variables in your problem correspond with the variables in the Newton’s Law of Cooling?
- The environmental temperature
- The corpse temperature
3. According to this Law, at what time approximately the death happened?
If it is about the problem that we did about the case, I don’t remember at what time exactly; it was just minutes before they found the body, I think.
4. How does the room temperature affect the time of death?
Because it changes the body’s temperature; the environmental temperature will never be hotter than the body’s temperature, and that’s why the body’s temperature is decreasing.
5. How does an illness (e.g. fever) affect the time of death?
Because when you are sick the body’s temperature change, so if the person was sick the temperature at the time of death won’t be the normal and that makes the answer less accurate
6. How exact is the approximation of the Newton’s Law of Cooling for predicting the time of death?
It is a good approximation or like it says is one of the links a ``satisfactory'' approximation

this week :)

4. What methods are commonly used to find the time of death ?
-The rate method: measure when a body have changes.
-The concurrence method: compare the changes of the murder in research of information

5. What factors are considered in Algor Mortis?
-Body temperature
-Evaporation
-Convection
-Radiation

6. How does the environment affect the time of death?
- It produces many changes in the body, for example the temperature because of the environment temperature

14 DE FEB

alaa pues con la novedad de que el chapiraaaa ya tiene blog!!! xD
era el unico de mi equipo que faltaba :)

y puesss ESSSMI CUMPLEAAAÑOSS!!!! HAPPY'B'DAAAY TO MEE!! :P

y pues FELIZ DIA DEL AMOR Y LA AMISTAD A TODOOOS!!

=D

Pues esta semana estuvo muy bieen.. dentro d lo que cabe porque fue de examenes :P....

me fuee bie en calculoo aunque me equivoque en puras tontadas ( nota personal: estudiar las tablas de multiplicar 3x3=9 xD) jajajajajajaja xD

Ya viene mi cumpleeeeeeeee.... el 14 de feb...!! esperoo las felicictaciones ok? :P jajaja
sale pss me voyy byebyee!! = * *

2nd part Veloz w|h

1) What is forensic science?
IT is the aplication of a lot of sciences in order to solve a crime. It analyze evidence using science, math, and problem solving methods

2) What kind of evidence can be collected in a murder case?
There are three sources of evidence:
Corporal Evidence: DNA, fingerprints,blood, etc.
Environmental Evidence: dust,
Anamnestic evidence: habits, movements and activities.
3) Why is important to determine the time of death?
To determine if one person is a suspect or not according to his/her story....


We think that the main goal of this project is to learn the application of calculus (math); how to use it in crimes. And we think that we have to do the video in order to practice it.
