At 10:30 AM, detectives discover a dead body in a room and measure its temperature at 31∘C. One hour later, the body’s temperatu

re had dropped to 24.8∘C. Determine how many hours had passed since the death occured (when the body temperature was a normal 37∘C), by the time the body was discovered, assuming that the temperature in the room was held constant at 20∘C. (Use decimal notation. Give your answer to one decimal place. Round any intermediate calculations, if needed, to no less than three decimal places.)

The reference time is 10:30 AM,

The body temperature is 31 ° C,

The room temperature (T_A) is 20 ° c,

Newton and the law of cooling are useful in this situation, the equation says,

\frac{dT}{dt} = -k(T-T_A)

Where k is proportionality constant

t= time

T= Temperature of Body,

Thus,

\frac{dT}{dt} = - k(T-20)

\frac{1}{T-20}dT = -kdt

We can integrate here,

\int \frac{1}{T-20}dT = -k\int dt

ln(T-20) = -kt+c

T-20=e^{-kt+c}

We have our first equation,

T=20+e^{-kt}e^c

When the measurement t = 0 was made, the temperature T = 31 ° c

31=20+e^{-k(0)}e^c

11=e^c

We have know that e^c = 11

Our equation now is,

T=20+11e^{-kt}

When t=1hour then T=24.8, then

24.8=20+11e^{-k(1)}

24.8-20=11e^{-k}

\frac{4.8}{11}=e^{-k}

ln(\frac{4.8}{11})=-k

-k=-0.83

Then our equation is now,

T=20+11e^{0.83t}

Finally, we know can find the time when T=37, so

37=20+11e^{-0.83t}

e^{-0.83t}=\frac{17}{11}

-0.83t=ln\frac({17}{11})

t=-0.52

t=31min

<em>Therefore the time is 10:30-31min, we have that at 9:59AM the body was still alive</em>

State the 3 laws of motion
Georgia [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

Newton's first law of motion:

An object in motion stays in motion, and an object at rest stays at rest, until acted upon by an unbalanced force.

Newton's second law:

The net force on an object is equal to its mass times its acceleration.

Newton's third law:

For every action, there is an opposite and equal reaction.

A 1350 kg uniform boom is supported by a cable. The length of the boom is l. The cable is connected 1/4 the
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

Tension= 21,900N

Components of Normal force

Fnx= 17900N

Fny= 22700N

FN= 28900N

Explanation:

Tension in the cable is calculated by:

Etorque= -FBcostheta(1/2L)+FT(3/4L)-FWcostheta(L)= I&=0 static equilibrium

FTorque(3/4L)= FBcostheta(1/2L)+ FWcostheta(L)

Ftorque=(Fcostheta(1/2L)+FWcosL)/(3/4L)

Ftorque= 2/3FBcostheta+ 4/3FWcostheta

Ftorque=2/3(1350)(9.81)cos55° + 2/3(2250)(9.81)cos 55°

Ftorque= 21900N

b) components of Normal force

Efx=FNx-FTcos(90-theta)=0 static equilibrium

Fnx=21900cos(90-55)=17900N

Fy=FNy+ FTsin(90-theta)-FB-FW=0

FNy= -FTsin(90-55)+FB+FW

FNy= -21900sin(35)+(1350+2250)×9.81=22700N

The Normal force

FN=sqrt(17900^2+22700^2)

FN= 28.900N
