Why do X-Ray technicians stand behind a shield when giving X-Rays to patients?

Lol I just learned this, here's the short answer:
Large doses of X-Rays are known to cause cell damage and cancer, so
<span>X-Ray technicians have to stand behind the shield. Here's the lengthy answer:
</span> This is because the patient would only be exposed to the small dose of radiation once, which is hardly harmful. However, radiographers deal with this all day every day, which could mean that the small doses could add up. This is why they stand behind a lead screen; the small exposure to the X-Rays aren't harmful alone but frequent exposure could begin to damage your cells and lead to potential genetic mutation. If a patient is often in radiography (a long-stay patient for example), they begin to wear lead aprons whilst being X-rayed in order to prevent the risk of harm. Hope I answered correctly.

Answer: Electric field is not zero but potential is zero

Explanation:

In science, charge, also recognized as electric charge, electrical charge, or electrostatic charge and expressed q, is a component of a unit of body that reveals the extent to which it has more or fewer electrons than protons.

Considering the direction of the electric field is of positive to negative charge. Therefore, it determination be toward due −q also due to both the charges.

But for potential, it is a scalar quantity, so the sum of potential due to all the charges will be zero.

Henceforth, the option (c) Electric field is not zero but potential is zero is the correct answer.

a incorect

From the above statements, we could conclude that option (c) Electric field is not zero, but potential is zero is the correct answer. So, the option (a) Electric field and potential both are zero is an incorrect solution.

b incorect

Among all the options, the option (c) Electric field is not zero but potential is zero is the correct answer.

Therefore, the option (b) Electric field is zero but potential is not zero is an incorrect solution

d) is incorrect

It has been explained that the option (c) Electric field is not zero but potential is zero is the correct answer.

Hence, the option (d) Electric field is not zero but potential is zero is an incorrect solution.

mass of iron block given as

$m_1 = 1.90 kg$

density of iron block is

$\rho = 7860 kg/m^3$

now the volume of the iron piece is given as

$V = \frac{m}{\rho}$

$V = \frac{1.90}{7860} = 2.42* 10^{-4} m^3$

Now when this iron block is complete submerged in oil inside the beaker the buoyancy force on the iron block will be given as

$F_b = \rho_L V g$

here we know that

$\rho_L$ = density of liquid = 916 kg/m^3

$F_b = 916* 2.42 * 10^{-4} * 9.8$

$F_b = 2.17 N$

Now for the reading of spring balance we can say the spring force and buoyancy force on the block will counter balance the weight of the block at equilibrium

$F_s + F_b = mg$

$F_s + 2.17 = 1.90* 9.8$

$F_s = 16.45 N$

So reading of spring balance will be 16.45 N

Now for other scale which will read the normal force of the surface we can write that normal force on the container will balance weight of liquid + container and buoyancy force on block

$F_n = F_g + F_b$

$F_n = (1 + 2.50)*9.8 + 2.17$

$F_n = 34.3 + 2.17 = 36.47 N$

So the other scale will read 36.47 N

Explanation:

All the displacement will be converted into vector, considering east as x axis and north as y axis.

5.3 km north

D = 5.3 j

8.3 km at 50 degree north of east

D₁= 8.3 cos 50 i + 8.3 sin 50 j.

= 5.33 i + 6.36 j

Let D₂ be the displacement which when added to D₁ gives the required displacement D

D₁ + D₂ = D

5.33 i + 6.36 j + D₂ = 5.3 j

D₂ = 5.3 j - 5.33i - 6.36j

= - 5.33i - 1.06 j

magnitude of D₂

D₂²= 5.33² + 1.06²

D₂ = 5.43 km

Angle θ

Tanθ = 1.06 / 5.33

= 0.1988

θ =11.25 ° south of due west.
