X-ray technicians stand behind a shield when giving X-rays to patients because large doses of X-rays are known to cause cell damage and cancers.

Answer: D

Explanation:

Electromagnetic radiations like x-rays, alpha rays and other cosmic rays are harmful to human health and tissues to some extent when it is exposed for long time.

The x-rays are created when highly accelerated electrons hit the metal leading to ejection of electrons from its shell.

The x-rays are highly penetrate able but it cannot penetrate bones. So it is mostly used for getting scans of bones.

X-rays can penetrate cells and when exposed for large time in large doses it can harm the cell by damaging them or by creating cancer cells.

Stells [14]

Answer:

<em>The centripetal acceleration would increase by a factor of 4</em>

<em>Correct choice: B.</em>

Explanation:

<u>Circular Motion</u>

The circular motion is described when an object rotates about a fixed point called center. The distance from the object to the center is the radius. There are other magnitudes in the circular motion like the angular speed, tangent speed, and centripetal acceleration. The formulas are:

v_t=w\ r

\displaystyle a_c=\frac{v_t^2}{r}

If the speed is doubled and the radius is the same, then

\displaystyle a_c=\frac{(2v_t)^2}{r}

\displaystyle a_c=4\frac{v_t^2}{r}

The centripetal acceleration would increase by a factor of 4

Correct choice: B.

A 3.0kg weight W is initially at rest on incline AB, which is raised 40° above the horizontal. The effective coefficient is
lakkis [162]

(a) The acceleration of the system is determined as 1.58 m/s².

(b) The relative weight of P is pounds is determined as 0.14 lb.

<h3>Acceleration of the system</h3>

The acceleration of the system is calculated as follows;

W - T = m₂a --- (1)

T = m₁a ----(2)

μmgsinθ - m₁a = m₂a

(0.3 x 3 x 9.8 x sin40) - (0.4 + 0.2)a = 3a

5.67 - 0.6a = 3a

5.67 = 3.6a

a = 5.67/3.6

a = 1.58 m/s²

<h3> Relative Weight of P</h3>

W = ma

W = 0.4 x 1.58

W = 0.632 N = 0.14 lb
