Radioactivity is generally bad for the cells of the body, because they may get ionised by it, which means that damage will get caused to them so that they may die. Hence, it is less preferrable to choose an isotope to enter your body, which will emit radioactivity for a long time, so we tend to choose isotopes, the radioactivity of which ceases quickly, so that the least possible amount of damage is caused to the cells.

What error, if any, would the calculated density of the solid have if the material had a hollow center?
maria [59]

Answer:

3) The calculated density would be high, because the volume would be incorrectly measured low.

Explanation:

Density is defined as mass per unit volume. It means the density is inversely proportional to the volume.

A solid with a hollow center will have high volume due to air inside the hollow area that will lead to low density.

But the error in the calculation of density is that the "density would be high, because the volume would be incorrectly measured low."

Hence, the correct answer is "3)"
