Determining the time of death is both an art and a science and requires that the medical examiner use several techniques and observations to make his estimate. As a general rule, the sooner after death the body is examined, the more accurate this estimate will be.

Unfortunately, the changes that a body undergoes after death occur in widely variable ways and with unpredictable time frames. There is no single factor that will accurately indicate the time of physiological death. It is always a best guess. But when the principles are properly applied, the medical examiner can often estimate the physiologic time of death with some degree of accuracy.

One way we can estimate time of death is by measuring the body temperature. Average body temperate is 32.7c or 98.6 Fahrenheit .The current formula for heat loss is a loss of 1.5 degree per hour.


Hours since death = 98.6 – corpse core temperature / 1.5
(26.3 Celsius converted to Fahrenheit= 79.34 F)

98.6 F - 79.34 F / 1.5 = 45.7 hours since death

What is the difference between free fall and weightlessness??
joja [24]
When you are in free fall, the force of gravity is stronger than your velocity perpendicular to where you're falling, and you move at a constant speed downwards.

Under feelings of weightlessness, you are still being pulled by gravity, but your perpendicular velocity and distance from the source can cancel each other out.

What is meant by the statement,the linear expansivity of copper is 0.000017k
Aliun [14]

Answer:

The change in length per unit length per degree rise in temperature of copper is 0.000017k

Explanation:

Given that :

The linear expansivity of copper is 0.000017k. This simply means that ; for a given copper length, the length of such copper will increase by 0.000017k for every degree rose in temperature of the copper rod.

Therefore, the change in length per unit length per degree rise in temperature (k) is 0.000017
