Why ambulance is written opposite on front side of ambulance?
Bcoz the name written in opposite direction looks on the correct direction when viewed through the mirror so that is the reason…..if a vehicle going in front of the ambulance can read it correctly and give a way to go a head
What is the sound or pitch when an ambulance goes by?
This is the doppler effect. If an ambulance is driving towards Jon, the sound waves are tightly stacked in front of the ambulance and are heard by Jon at a high frequency (high pitch). But behind the ambulance the sound waves are lagging because the ambulance is driving away from they sound waves (they are moving in the opposite direction) thus if Jon was standing behind the ambulance the frequency heard would be low (low pitch). The actual sound an ambulance makes is actually obnoxious, and if 100 of them drive by someone's apartment each day, it will make their head hurt and they will often think about why ambulances are so annoying.
If you flip a coin just as the airplane takes off from thr runway the coin will land behind you yew or no?
Actually, you AND the coin are travelling at the same velocity as the plane. Therefore, when you flip it up it will come straight back to you and not into the guy behind you...as long as your throw is straight up in the air, of course. This is called relative velocity: the coin is traveling at a horizontal velocity of zero RELATIVE TO THE PLANE, but it is travelling at 400km/h (or whatever the plane is travelling at) RELATIVE TO THE GROUND.
Why you can see the word 'ambulance' in the car mirror even though you are not looking at the ambulance that is behind the car?
The word "Ambulance" is printed backwards on the front of the ambulance so you can read it in the mirror the right way around
You were involved in auto accident where the other driver ran the red light because an ambulance was behind her you were going in opposite direction and you had the green light is she at fault?
Technically a driver is not allowed to break any traffic laws to get out of the way of an ambulance, as such she should not have run the red light. If the ambulance had its lights and sirens on, then you are both at fault since you both should have pulled over.
What is illegal to drive at what distance behind an ambulance?

Who is at fault I was making a left turn and I was struck in the passenger rear panel of my vehicle?
I don't know the details but most likely the vehicle that struck you is at fault if he/she was traveling in the same direction and lane behind you.
A 2mg object has more inertia than a 20 kg object?
Since momentum (force in motion) is a measurement of mass times velocity, a heavier object traveling at the same speed as a lighter object will have more force behind it.
What happens if you step outside of a spaceship traveling at light speed?
Well first of all, you don't. No object that has any mass when it's sitting still will ever travel at light speed. To answer your question in general: If you're sitting inside a spaceship, sipping a cup of coffee and surfing the web, and you decide to take a break from your back-breaking labor and step outside for a few minutes, then the moment you're outside, you continue traveling at the same speed and in the same direction that the ship was when you let go of it. If the ship is traveling with constant velocity ... constant speed in a straight line ... then you seem to float motionless next to it, because your speed and direction are exactly the same as the spaceship's. If the ship is accelerating, then you keep the speed and direction that you and it had when you let go, and the ship goes on its own merry way, leaving you behind, beside, or ahead.
What are the rules for when an ambulance is behind you on the road?
If the ambulance isn't using its lights and sirens, just follow normal traffic laws. If it is, you'll need to pull over to the side of the road and wait for it to pass.
