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.

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

The new cells are the same as the previous ones, since they are the result of the mitosis process.

Explanation:

When we cut our skin, our brain sends information to millions of cells to take action and prevent this cut from putting us in danger. At that moment, the blood cells begin their work, supplying enough oxygen to stop possible bleeding and start the healing process. Then another group of cells swap out possible bacteria that may be trying to get into the wound. Last but not least, skin cells enter cell division and undergo mitosis, to generate new cells and create a new skin layer.

New cells are the same as old cells, as they are the result of mitosis. Mitosis is the process of cell division where one cell gives rise to two cells exactly the same as it.

Why are marshmellows scientificlly the best tasting thing ever?
yKpoI14uk [10]
Marshmallows are probably so delicious because of several important factors. They are fluffy, soft, and oh-so sweet. They melt in your mouth and taste absolutely heavenly with chocolate and graham crackers. Or throw a couple in your hot chocolate. There's no wrong way to eat them and they're pretty cheap too.

The biological species concept is least relevant to which of the following groups of organisms?
Luba_88 [7]
<h2>b) is the correct option </h2>

Explanation:

The biological species concept defines a species as a group of individuals living in one or more populations that can potentially interbreed to produce healthy, fertile offspring

  • The biological species concept connects the idea of a species to the process of evolution
  • Because members of a species can interbreed, the species as a whole has a common gene pool, a collection of gene variants
  • In order to be considered to be a single species in the biological species concept, a group of organisms must produce healthy, fertile offspring when they interbreed
  • In some other cases, organisms of different species can mate and produce healthy offspring, but the offspring are infertile, can’t reproduce

Hence it includes the groups which are reproductively isolated so asexual fungi will be least relevant to this group
