Answer:

Applications in which ionizing radiation are not used are  

 MRI

ultrasound

 laser surgery

Explanation:

Ionizing radiation

Ionizing radiations are radiation which have sufficien energy to ionize an atom. Example of ionizing radiation are x rays, gamma rays and all particle radiation from radioactive decay

CT Scan

CT scan is an abbreviated form of computerized tomography. CT scan provide more information about a body than x-rays. In this test a sequence of x-ray images are taken at various angle of a body and these images after computer processing  provide information about the body. Since x-ray is ionizing radiation so in CT scan ionizing radiations are used.

Ultrasound

In ultra sound scan high frequency sound waves(which are not ionizing radiation) are used to find the information about a body.

MRI

MRI is an abbreviated form of Magnetic resonance imaging. In MRI scanning high intensity magnetic field and radio waves(which are not ionizing radiation) are used to find the information of a body.

Laser surgery

It is a type of surgery in which laser beam(which are not ionizing radiation) is used to cut the skin or to remove a lesion from skin surface.

Radiopharmaceuticals PET scan

PET scan is an abbreviated form of positron emission tomography scan. This test is used to find the images of a body to detect certain diseases like cancer and heart diseases in your body.  In this test radioactive tracers are used. In this test ionizing radiation are used.

Reil [10]

1200

Explanation:

F = m x (v / t)

v / t = F / m

v = (F / m) / t

v = (600 / 5) / 0.1

v = 120 / 0.1

v = 1200 m / s

rt A For a given substance, do you expect the density of the substance in its liquid state to be closer to the density in the ga
Nat2105 [25]

Answer:

A substance in its liquid state is closer to the density of its solid phase than the density of its gaseous phase.

Explanation:

For a substance in its liquid state we can expect the density of the substance more closer to the density of its solid state than its gaseous state because the the inter-molecular space is much close near to incompressible in the liquid state and the the inter-molecular force of attraction is much higher as compared to gaseous state.

In contrast to the molecular properties in liquid state gases have almost negligible inter-molecular force of attraction and very huge inter-molecular spacing which makes it well compressible.

A billiard ball travels 23 cm in the positive direction , hits the cushion and rebounds in the negative direction , and Finally
wel

Explanation :

Displacement refers to the distance between the final and the initial position. Hence the displacement of the ball will be the difference between the initial and the final displacement.

Let the initial position be 0.

Final position = 8 cm

So the difference between initial position and final position = 0 – 8 = - 8 cm.

So the billiard ball comes to rest 8.0 cm behind its orbital position.

Why is heat acclimatization important?
kicyunya [14]

Answer:

Heat acclimatization :

   It is the biological adaptations or we can say that it coverts according to the present environment.It also reduce the strain and maintain the normal temperature and heart rate.Heat acclimatization also increase the comfort and reduce all the mental strain and also protect out liver ,muscles ,kidneys and brain fro the injury.
