A body was found at 10 a.m. outdoors on a day when the temperature was 40oF. The medical examiner found the temperature of the b

ody to be 80oF. What was the approximate time of death? Use Newton's law of cooling, with k = 0.1947.

Answer:

8 am

Explanation:

Equation of newtons law of cooling is  -

T(t) = T_{A} + (T_{o} - T_{A} ) e^{-kt}

Where T_{o} is ambient temperature which is equal to 98.6

T(t) = 80 degree Fahrenheit

T_{A} = 40degree Fahrenheit

k = 0.1947

Substituting the given values in above equation we get -

80 = 40 + (98.6 - 40) e^{-0.1947t} \\40 = 58.6 e^{-0.1947t}\\\frac{40}{58.6}  = e^(-0.1947t) \\

Taking log on both sides we get -

ln\frac{40}{58.6}  = -0.1947t \\-0.38 = -0.1947t\\t = 1.95hour

which is almost 2 hour

So the time of death would be two hour before 10 am

i.e 8 am

We are given with the data that at 10 am, the temp is 40oF. We are asked for the time when the body's temperature is equal to 80oF. In this casem we use Newtons law of cooling: T (t) = Ta + (To - Ta) e -kt. Substituing, 98.6 =  40 + (80-40) e -0.1947t. t is equal to . Hence the approximate time of death is -1.96 hrs ago or approx two hours ago. The answer is 8 am.

Jezelyn needs to create a project that shows geographic isolation in action and decides to make a video. Which of the following
kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

a video that shows penguin species that have different mating dances

Explanation:

The question is incomplete as it does not have the options which are:

  • a video that shows a large river that has penguin populations on both sides
  • a video that shows penguin species that have different mating dances
  • a video that shows a penguin that is laying eggs
  • a video that shows penguins in a tidal pool and an open ocean

Answer:

a video that shows penguin species that have different mating dances

<em><u>The reproductive isolation is the factor which allows the species to evolve and form a new species, therefore, this factor is used to describe a species.</u></em>

<em><u /></em>

<em><u>The reproductive isolation refers to a mechanism in which the species are isolated to not interbreed with the individual of other species. The reproductive isolation could be due to behavioural, psychological, physical or genetic differences. evolved as an adaptation.</u></em>

<em><u /></em>

<em><u>In the given cases, the penguin species which shows different mating dances is considered to be reproductively isolated as the different dance rituals evolved as behaviour to prevent them from mating.</u></em>

<em><u /></em>

<em><u>Thus, the selected option is correct.</u></em>

<h3><em><u /></em></h3>
