And we know that wounds are tracked by their size in centimeters. Unfortunately, jury members and other non-medical people in the United States are unfamiliar with the metric system. If you tell them a wound is 10 cm long, jury members may picture a wound that is 10 inches long instead of its real length of 4 inches. As a new legal nurse consultant, you can assist attorneys, and eventually juries, by describing wounds in both centimeters and inches.
April 9, 2014 4:54pm EDT April 9, 2014 11:32am EDT How fast is NASCARâs new Sprint Cup car with new aerodynamic rules on one of its fastest tracks? Dale Earnhardt Jr. topped 215 mph during a test Wednesday morning at Michigan International Speedway, one of NASCARâs fastest tracks. Track president Roger Curtis tweeted about Earnhardt's fast speed. Joey Logano set the track qualifying record at 2-mile Michigan last year at 203.949 mph with NASCARâs new Gen-6 Sprint Cup car.
The top average speed for a NASCAR race is 210 mph, and for F1 itâs even higher, at 257 mph. Know how scary it is to go 100? Imagine that at twice the speed, with a bunch of cars inches away doing to exact same thing. Most passenger cars canât even go half as fast as an F1 car. The differences between road cars and race cars are legion, and this only begins to brush the surface of the topic. But if there are two main factors that separate the two, it is vehicle weight and engine output.
