How many volts of electricity can be fatal?
It is not just the voltage but the flow of current (amperes) that determines how much electricity (energy, joules) is passed through the body. A tiny current at very high voltages is harmless, although less so with a high amperage and tiny current. The resistance of the skin may allow high voltages to flow along the outside of the body rather than through it.
What is the maximum speed a human can survive?
It is actually not speed that would be fatal for a human. The acceleration and the amount of "g" force exerted would be the cause of a person's death. I human being can withstand about 4-6 G forces.
What types of waves can hurt you or kill you?
Radioactive waves can be fatal.
What happens if the air does not exert pressure?
Depends on how you do that - but most are fatal.
What is a fatal magnitude of electric current?
This is really a medical question, but it worries me that you're even asking. The answer is that depends on where the current is flowing. If it's across your chest, even a few milli-amperes can send your heart into cardiac arythmia, causing a heart attack ( or death by stupidity, as I'd say). If you want to play with electricity (and I do not like your playground), keep it below your waist. And if anyone even suggests using a regular wall plug, you should run immediately! I'm not kidding! That will burn you severely for sure, and probably kill you. Be careful.
Where in the US is there the least car accidents?
According to the National Highway Transportation and Safety Administration, in 2008 the District of Columbia had the lowest amount of reported FATAL accidents (34). Alaska had 62 reported fatal car accidents and Rhode Island had 65 reported fatal car accidents. 2007 Data shows the Rate of Fatal Accidents per 100,000 registered vehicles was lowest in MA (7.57) and then RI (8.33)
What is an electric shock?
An electrical shock may cause burns, or it may leave no visible mark on the skin. In either case, an electrical current passing through the body can cause internal damage, cardiac arrest or other injury. Under certain circumstances, even a small amount of electricity can be fatal.
Who had the lowest rate for drivers in alcohol related fatal crashes?
Truck drivers
How many milliamps can result in death?
Approximately 100 milliamps of current passing through the human body can be fatal, with the exact value depending on individual factors. Current levels above this threshold can disrupt the heart's electrical system and lead to cardiac arrest. It is important to always be cautious around electrical sources to prevent accidents and potential harm.
What happens when you take a fatal amount of vicodin?
you die
Can a car involved in a fatal accident be repaired?
It depends on the amount of damage to the car. "Fatal accident" normally means someone was killed, and has nothing to do directly with the amount of damage to the vehicle.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of electrical current?
Advantages of electric current : This is the energy source which can be easily converted into other energies like heat, mechanical, light etc very easily. Very convenient to use and environment friendly as no pollution is caused by its use at the consumer end. Disadvantage: It can sometime prove fatal and its transmission lines used to carry current looks ugly
