A naked, male corpse was found at 8AM on Tuesday, July 9.The air temperature wasalready 26.7˚C (81˚F). The body exhibited some s

tiffness in the face and eyelids and had a body temperature of 34.4˚C (93.9˚F). Livor mortis was not evident. Approximately how long ago did the man die? Justify your answer. Would clothing on the body have made a difference in determining the actual time of death in this case? Why or why not?

Answer:

x = 9.87 hours ago.

Further explanation is present below.

Explanation:

Data given:

Air Temperature = 26.7°C (81°F)

Body temperature = 34.4°C (93.9°F)

We are given that, Livor mortis was absent. Secondly, The body exhibited some stiffness in the face and eyelids.

So, it can be concluded that, body must have died recently, as Livor mortis was absent plus the presence of stiffness in the face and eyelids. Furthermore,

The normal body temperature = 37°C

Body temperature in our case = 34.4° C

Difference = 37 -34.4 = 2.6°C

And Air temperature = 26.7°C

Which is a very low difference, in addition, it has not acquired the air temperature so, all this evidence certifies that body died recently.

Now, we have to calculate, how recently it died.

Formula:

0.78 . x = difference of body temperature and air temperature

Where, x = number of hours = time required,

0.78 . x = (34.4 - 26.7)

0.78 . x = 7.7

x = 7.7/0.78

x = 9.87 hours ago.

It means that, naked male corpse was died 9.87 hours ago.

Now, we are asked to find out clothing on the body had made a difference or not.

So, Yes it would definitely make a difference. As body would have more warmer than being naked. and it would result in a calculation of a different time of death. (body temperature would have > 34.4°C)

A chicken crosses a 7.50 m wide road at a constant speed of 0.367 m/s. How much time does it take to cross (in seconds)?
mars1129 [50]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

= 20.436 seconds

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

Speed = Distance × time

Therefore;

Time = Distance/speed

Distance = 7.50 m, speed = 0.367 m/s

Time = 7.50/0.367

         <u>= 20.436 seconds </u>

How is it technically correct to say that a car making a u-turn can have a constant speed but cannot have a constant velocity?
saw5 [17]

During the "U" part of the turn, the car would follow an approximately circular path, and if it's moving at a constant speed, it would have to accelerate toward the center of the circle in order to change its direction.

8. An unpowered flywheel is slowed by a constant frictional torque. At time t = 0 it has an angular velocity of 200 rad/s. Ten s
allsm [11]

Answer:

a) \omega = 50\,\frac{rad}{s}, b) \omega = 0\,\frac{rad}{s}

Explanation:

The magnitude of torque is a form of moment, that is, a product of force and lever arm (distance), and force is the product of mass and acceleration for rotating systems with constant mass. That is:

\tau = F \cdot r

\tau = m\cdot a \cdot r

\tau = m \cdot \alpha \cdot r^{2}

Where \alpha is the angular acceleration, which is constant as torque is constant. Angular deceleration experimented by the unpowered flywheel is:

\alpha = \frac{170\,\frac{rad}{s} - 200\,\frac{rad}{s} }{10\,s}

\alpha = -3\,\frac{rad}{s^{2}}

Now, angular velocities of the unpowered flywheel at 50 seconds and 100 seconds are, respectively:

a) t = 50 s.

\omega = 200\,\frac{rad}{s} - \left(3\,\frac{rad}{s^{2}} \right) \cdot (50\,s)

\omega = 50\,\frac{rad}{s}

b) t = 100 s.

Given that friction is of reactive nature. Frictional torque works on the unpowered flywheel until angular velocity is reduced to zero, whose instant is:

t = \frac{0\,\frac{rad}{s}-200\,\frac{rad}{s} }{\left(-3\,\frac{rad}{s^{2}} \right)}

t = 66.667\,s

Since t > 66.667\,s, then the angular velocity is equal to zero. Therefore:

\omega = 0\,\frac{rad}{s}

Relay of thermostate is not working why
Colt1911 [192]

Check the power source. Your thermostat may just not be connected right or at all. A blown fuse, tripped circuit breaker or dead batteries will prevent the thermostat from turning on your furnace.

Dirty thermostat? That’ll cause issues. Clean up any dust, dirt, spider webs and other debris. Any of these things can coat the inside of the thermostat and interfere with both electrical and mechanical functions of the thermostat. Put this on your get-ready-for-winter cleaning list. Just use a soft, clean brush to clean the inside components gently. Don’t get anything wet. Also you can use a can of compressed air, such as is used for electronics, to clear debris.

Check for any loose wires or terminal screws inside the thermostat. Make sure wires aren’t corroded or detached. Never remove the thermostat cover without removing the batteries or turning off the power at the fuse or breaker box. Tighten screws and secure loose wires if needed.

It may be time to replace your thermostat is it’s old. They aren’t meant to last forever and an old thermostat may be costing you a lot of money in wasted energy and time spent tinkering with an outdated model. There are great programmable thermostats available now that are easy to use and simple to connect to your existing HVAC system. Click here for more info on programmable thermostats.
