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.

In fruit flies (Drosophila melanogaster) grey body is dominant to black body and normal wings are dominant to vestigial wings. I
zepelin [54]
The answer is C. We can suppose that the Grey gene is "A" and Black gene is "a". So the gene of heterozygous grey fruit fly is "Aa", and the black-bodied fruit fly is "aa". After mating, the offspring can get only "a" from balck-bodied fruit fly and has equal opportunity to get a "A" or "a" from heterozygous grey fruit fly. If the gene of offspring is "Aa", it will be grey. If "aa", it will be black. So the proportion of being black is 0.5.

The knee ________.
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

The correct answer is: C) has ligaments present inside as well as surrounding the articular capsule.

Explanation:

<u>The knee joint is a hinge (ginglymus) type synovial joint</u> that is formed by three different bones: the femur, the tibia, and the patella.

Given the nature of the hinge joint, it should only allow flexion and extension, but it also grants a small degree of internal and external rotation. For this reason, the knee joint cannot be considered a multiaxial joint, since it only fully moves in one axis and slightly moves in a second one (this is why most people consider the knee joint a uniaxial joint, but some others say it is actually a <u>biaxial one</u>).

The knee joint isn't completely enclosed by a strong articular capsule. The knee joint is rather thin and it contains the patella, menisci, bursae, and ligaments of the knee.

The knee is not the simplest joint in the body. It is formed by three bones and there's also the menisci, which are fibrocartilaginous structures that help increase the stability of the joint and act as shock absorbers as well.

The knee does have ligaments both inside and outside the articular capsule. The intracapsular ligaments are two cruciate ligaments (one anterior and one posterior), which hold the tibia in place; the transverse ligament that connects both menisci; and the posterior and anterior meniscofemoral ligaments. The extracapsular ligaments are the patellar ligaments (connects the patella to the tibia), the two collateral ligaments (medial and fibular, one on each side of the knee, connecting the femur to the tibia and to the fibula, respectively), and the anterolateral ligament.
