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

Yuki888 [10]

Answer:F=3\times 10^{-5} N

Explanation:

Given

I_1=2 Amps

I_2=0.75 Amps

Length of each wires\left ( L\right )=5 m

Distance between wires \left ( r\right )=5 cm

Force per unit length =\frac{\mu_0I_1I_2}{2\pi r}

F'=\frac{2\times 10^{-7}\times 2\times 0.75}{2\pi \times 0.05}

F'=6\times 10^{-6}

Force for L=5 m

F=3\times 10^{-5} N

Sonja [21]

Answer:

L=55.9m

Explanation:

The equation for the period of a simple pendulum is:

T=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}

In our case what we know is the period and the acceleration of gravity, and we need to know the length of the pendulum, so we can write:

L=(\frac{T}{2\pi})^2g

Which for our values is:

L=(\frac{15s}{2\pi})^2(9.81m/s^2)=55.9m

Question #5: Explain how a reflecting telescope is different from a refracting telescope. List the two different types of reflec
Anni [7]

The main component in a reflecting telescope is a mirror where the light will bounce off and is then focused into a smaller area. In contrast, a refracting telescope uses lenses that focus the light as it travels towards the other end.

Two different types of reflecting telescopes are:

1.Cassegrain reflector

2.Newtonian telescope

Explanation:

  • The distinction between the two is in how they manipulate the incoming light in order to magnify the image. The main component in a reflecting telescope is a mirror where the light will bounce off and is then focused into a smaller area.
  • Key advantage of reflecting telescopes is how big you can make them. With lenses, the maximum size is limited to about one meter, largely because of the problems stated above as well as the skyrocketing costs.
  • The Newtonian telescope, also called the Newtonian reflector, is a type of reflecting telescope invented Sir Isaac Newton, using a concave primary mirror and a flat diagonal secondary mirror. The Newtonian telescope's simple design has made it very popular with amateur telescope makers.
  • The Cassegrain reflector is a combination of a primary concave mirror and a secondary convex mirror, often used in optical telescopes and radio antennas, the main characteristic being that the optical path folds back onto itself, relative to the optical system's primary mirror entrance aperture.

What does newton's first law describes​
dezoksy [38]
Earlier, we stated Newton's first law as “A body at rest remains at rest or, if in motion, remains in motion at constant velocity unless acted on by a net external force.” It can also be stated as “Every body remains in its state of uniform motion in a straight line unless it is compelled to change that state by forces
For example-A stationary object with no outside force will not move. With no outside forces, a moving object will not stop. An astronaut who has their screwdriver knocked into space will see the screwdriver continue on at the same speed and direction forever.
