A prisoner tries to escape from a Nashville, Tennessee prison by hiding in the laundry truck. The prisoner is surprised when the

truck is stopped at the gate. A guard enters the truck and handcuffs him. "How did you know I was here?" the prisoner asks. "The heartbeat detector," says the guard.A heartbeat detector senses the tiny vibrations caused by blood pumped from the heart. With each heartbeat, blood is pumped upward to the aorta, and the body recoils slightly, conserving the momentum of the blood-body system. The body's vibrations are transferred to the inside of the truck. Vibration sensors on the outside of the truck are linked to a geophone, or signal amplifier, attached to a computer. A wave analyzer program in the computer compares vibration signals from the truck to wavelets produced by heartbeat vibrations. The wave analyzer distinguishes a person's heartbeat from other vibrations in the truck or in the surrounding environment, allowing guards to detect the presence of a human in the truck.What does the heartbeat detector sense?1-Electric signals caused by electric dipole charges produced on the heart.2-Body vibrations caused by blood pumped from the heart.3-Sound caused by breathing.4-Slight uncontrollable reflexive motions of an enclosed person.5-All of the above

Answer:

<u>EFFECTS: ( doughts)</u>

  1. There would be less water in the river for you and other people who live along the river to use.
  2. If we use too much water during times of normal rainfall, we might not have enough water when a drought happens.

<u>EFFECTS:( FLOODS)</u>

  1. The immediate impacts of flooding include loss of human life, damage to property, destruction of crops, loss of livestock, and deterioration of health conditions owing to waterborne diseases.
  2. power plants, roads and bridges are damaged and disrupted, some economic activities may come to a standstill, people are forced to leave their homes and normal life is disrupted.

How to prevent from flooding is :

  1. Construct buildings above flood levels.
  2. Tackle climate change

How to prevent from droughts :

  1. drought trends that may occur based on statistical and actual weather forecasts.
  2. In the U.S., the U.S. Drought Monitor provides a day-by-day visual of the drought conditions around the country.

* Hopefully this helps:) Mark me the brainliest:)!!!
