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.

During soccer practice, Maya kicked a soccer ball 37° off the ground at 25 m/s. What was the ball's speed 2.2 s after she kicked
ki77a [65]

<u>Answer</u>

3.44 m/s


<u>Explanation</u>

The motion apply the equations of Newton's law of motion. The ball is acceleration is -9.8 m/s² (acceleration due to gravity. It is negative because the ball is going against gravity, so it is decelerating).

The first equation of Newton's law of motion is;

V = U + at

Where V is the final velocity, U is the initial velocity, a is acceleration and t the time taken.

V = 25 + (-9.8 × 2.2)

    = 25 - 21.56

     = 3.44 m/s

The terrestrial planets are made almost entirely of elements heavier than hydrogen and helium. According to modern science, wher
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

They were produced by stars that lived and died before our solar system was born.

Explanation:

According to what it's understood today, all elements heavier than hydrogen (including helium and excluding some that were created in laboratories) are created through nuclear fusion in the core of stars.

They start fusing hydrogen into helium, then as the star grows older helium is fused into beryllium and so on for all the periodic table.

So as far as science understands it today it's a literal truth that we are made of stars. (as almost everything else)
