Answer: it is due to Hypovolemia

Explanation:

Hypovolemia is a low level of fluid in the body by decrease in the volume of circulation of  blood in the body making it difficult for such individual get nutrients and oxygen to the body causing vital organs to be at risk of harm. This could be as a result  of dehydration or blood loss from injury also freom difficulty absorbing fluids etc, This condition is  more common in babies and they present symptoms of  fever, vomiting, and diarrhea, weakness etc.

Which of these is a risk of speeding?
N76 [4]

Answer:

B greater damage on impact.

Explanation:

Note that all objects are either in motion or not, and that they either have <em>Potential</em> Energy (or energy that can be used when called upon (needed)) or <em>Kinetic </em>Energy (or energy that is being used currently).

In the event of a person speeding, the person is exerting enough force using the gas pedal, giving a higher Kinetic Energy. The faster they are going, the higher the amount of Kinetic. If the driver is not paying attention and is going extremely fast, they may hit another car (for example). That car, in this example, is stopped for a red light. Unless the mass of the object is significantly bigger by a large margin, the transfer of energy from the Kinetic Energy to the object (with potential energy) would be visible. When a car hits another car of similar tonnage and size, the Kinetic Energy from the moving object would overcome the Potential Energy, changing that into a Kinetic Energy, forcing the stationary object to move forward. If there is a line of cars, then it would create a <em>chain effect</em>, which would lead to "greater damage".
