In science class, we've been assigned an at home project to design a series of ramps that will be designed so that, through friction, speed bumps, etc. will slow down a marble as much as possible when rolled on it.I'm at a loss, however, of what to do in order to slow down the marble. All I've thought of is tape, but that will make the project appear thrown together at the last minute. It can be a liquid, as long as it won't spill anywhere. Any thoughts?Also, it cannot be dishwasher soap. That was the best project last year.
Good GOD! Some people should seriousley noy answer questions unless they know what the heck they are talking about. YES. ANYONE can file a claim on your policy. It is up the insurance company to investigate and determins if there is any merit to the argument. They may choose to pay to avoid legal costs if they feel there is a reasonable chance they may have to pay more. Sometimes setteling a case for 500 is better than going to court and paying attorneys 25,000. The best thing you can do is contact the adjuster, and explain your side of the story, they will appreciate your co-operation, ans make sure you make a full disclosure to him. The abscense of a police report only damages her claim, she can still file, and still get paid without one. The key here is it is up to the adjuster and the company as to what they feel the best course of action is. They dont need your permission to pay a claim either.
You tell your adjuster that this is a bogus claim, she was drunk and jumped from the moving car. Now, in many states, she'd still be eligible for medical payments if she saw the doctor after that. But your company is NOT going to do anything other than file it - and there's a GOOD chance they won't even take the claim report from her. The attorney is probably her new boyfriend.
Other people cannot file claims against your insurance, only you can do that. That said, if you get dragged into a lawsuit and want your insurance company to defend you, you'll need to file a claim. No claim, no insurer defense, no insurer defense, your insurance company will fight paying any judgment. Hopefully you have a good auto and umbrella policy. Having pre-paid legal or a good relationship with a local attorney would also be helpful. Good luck.
CO is, in fact, slightly lighter than air. Air which contains mainly 80% nitrogen and 20% oxygen has an average molecular weight 29 g/mol, whereas molecular weight of CO 28 g/mol. More the molecular weight, heavier is the gas. According to the second link, The specific gravity of carbon monoxide is 0.9657, while that of air is 1, which means both are roughly of the same weight. But often, carbon monoxide is accompanied by warm air let out by the appliances such as heaters, hence it tends to rise with the warm air. Therefore, it is ideal to place carbon monoxide detectors at a considerable height in the house.
Turn this matter over to your insurance company and let them deal with it. Adjusters have ways of gathering evidence to proof or disproof a claim. For example, if your son hit a fire hydrant, where is the damage to your vehicle. Even repaired damage will display evidence when inspected. As for the police report, the lack of one doesn't prevent her from filing a claim and/or lawsuit against you.
