The Sky Lakes Medical Center chart note from February 2, 2014 (an ER note). It states that Ms. Harris was restrained front seat passenger in a vehicle traveling at an estimated 25 mph when it was struck on the front driver’s side by a vehicle traveling at an estimated 40 mpg.

In chapter five, Pink discusses the trait of “buoyancy,” or what he defines as the ability to stay afloat when waves of rejection and adversity strike. According to Pink, buoyancy is composed of three different components: interrogative self-talk, positivity ratios, and explanatory self-talk. In the first component, Pink suggests that instead of only using positive self-talk whenever we are planning to move someone, we use interrogative self-talk. This is because asking ourselves questions, such as “Can I do this?” will elicit reasons for doing something, create room for improvement, and produce better results.

In conclusion, air pressure has a direct influence on the distance that the ball will travel when thrown. The hypothesis stated that if pressure is added to the football, then the distance the ball projects will increase when distance is a function of pressure. Based on the data that was collected from the experiment, the hypothesis was supported. When the football had more air inside, it went the farthest distance compared to the other two pressures that data was collected from.
The first example he uses to prove that chemistry is a major component in racing is the use of Nomex in racing helmets and suits as a fire retardant material. Currently Nomex continues to be one of the most fire retardant textiles available and is synthesized through the condensation reaction of isophthaloylchloride and meta-phenylenediamine. Without the use of Nomex textiles, racing would be a much more dangerous sport as fires occasionally occur after crashes. Another important technology utilized in motorsports is Kevlar which is also used in the manufacture of racing helmets as the outer shell used to protect the drivers from impacts of up to 300g’s. Furthermore, Kevlar is another polymer produced through the synthesis of two monomers.
Even with side-impact airbags, the energy of the crash is not able to be absorbed through the vehicle’s engine compartment
Teen car wrecks are tragic and happen way too often, vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for teens in America. In 2013 alone more than 2,163 teens, ages 16-19 were killed and 243,243 were treated in hospitals for injuries due to vehicle crashes. That means six teens died every day as a result of motor vehicle crashes. The huge majority (75 percent) of serious teen driver crashes are due to what officials call “critical errors” One of the biggest culprits is the lack of scanning mirrors and other important spots that are a necessity in order to detect and respond to hazards.
In New York City the decade of the 1920s was a prosperous and carefree time for many people that featured an economic boom in regards to automobiles, radios, and telephones. It was a decade of change for many reasons and for Fernand Leger it was a decade of demobilization with the theme of the city. Leger used this time to focus on the city and make it the inspiration for his new line of paintings. He wanted people to embrace the industrial time and using it in his paintings gave the topic emphasis. In Fernand Legers painting, The Bridge of the Tug, he uses sharp, simple shapes to depict his view of New York in a way that is chaotic and machine like in order to encourage society to embrace the new industrial era.
Self-discovery is driven by the willingness of individuals to make connections with places and people. This is evident in Tara June Winch 's novel "Swallow the Air" as the protagonist discoveries are seen through her connection with the people and her identity. Similarly, the same can be said for James Cameron 's film "Avatar" as Jake the protagonist discoveries is 'visualised through his connection with the land and how this affects his identity. In both of these texts, we can identify how both Tara June Winch and James Cameron interprets the concept of self-discovery in their text.
The gas could either be shot out of a gun or dropped out of a plane. It would be used mostly when there was no fighting going on. If the soldiers failed to put on their masks, the soldiers who breathed in the gas could easily die in an instant or become very ill and eventually die. People may have died fast because the gas contained Chlorine and Phosgene and (Mustard
The American Constitution stands on the principles and ideals of ancient, notable philosophers such as John Locke and Thomas Hobbes. Their ideas and theories lead to the development of one of the strongest nations in the world. Believing the best form of government is a democracy, John Locke expressed an optimistic and positive view of the nature of human beings describing them as cooperative and social creatures. On the other hand, Thomas Hobbes had a pessimistic view of the nature of human beings, describing them as selfish and war-like, and favored a total monarchy. Furthermore, although they have opposing views on human nature, they both have valid points.
The Importance of Wearing a Seatbelt In every fourteen seconds a car accident occurs, resulting in an injured victim and with increasing numbers of drivers each year. Car accidents have become more-and-more of a common sight. With people dying more often each year as a result of car accidents and numerous more receiving serious injury, it leads many to wonder how we could prevent these accidents or protect ourselves in the event of one occurring. Seatbelts dramatically reduce both the risk of death and of serious injury, with drivers and front seat passengers; it reduces the risk of death by forty-five percent and the risk of serious injury by half. Seatbelts are so essential because of the lives they can save, the laws and data supporting it, and how detrimental not wearing a seatbelt can actually be.
We were shown were the crash cart is. A crash cart is a wheeled container carrying medicine and equipment for used in emergency resuscitation. However, since I was hired we never used it. Never did I expect that tonight would be the night I would be tested in how fast I could react and work under pressure. For sure it has marked me until
In the 1960s Takata began production and sales of the first two-point seat belts. They also constructed a crash test facility and performed crash tests with dummies to test their seat belts. In the 1970s Takata began their initial research on airbags. In the late 1980s Takata began production of the driver side airbag and in the 1990s the company began production of passenger side airbags and airbag cushions.
A sad reality of Americans today is the mentality that individuals carry that nothing bad will ever happen to them, I won’t get cancer, I won’t have my personal information stolen, or I won’t get into an accident. In actuality, bad things happen to everyone, very often they are completely unexpected and if you were not prepared, you will soon wish that you had been. When it comes to motorcycle crashes, no one ever expects to be involved in one, and anyone who is seriously injured in one while not wearing helmet or safety gear, sure wishes that they had been. Most importantly, motorcycle helmets save lives and prevent people from minor and serious injuries. Motorcycle specific clothing, such as a leather jacket, kevlar padded pants, boots and gloves also prevent against serious or minor injuries.
