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.

When a golf club hits a 0.0459 kg ball at rest, it exerts a 2380 N force for 0.00100 s. What is the speed of the ball afterwards
aksik [14]

Answer:

51.85m/s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of ball  = 0.0459kg

Force  = 2380N

Time taken  = 0.001s

Unknown:

Speed of the ball afterwards  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we use Newton's second law of motion:

   F = m x \frac{v - u}{t}  

F is the force

m is the mass

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

t is the time taken

        2380  = 0.0459 x \frac{v- 0}{0.001}  

        0.0459v  = 2.38

                   v = 51.85m/s

What happens to electric charges within a conductor when a charged object is brought close to it
Agata [3.3K]
Well, if a charger conductor is touched to another object or close enough to touching the object then the conductor can transfer its charge to that object. Conductors allow for electrons to be transported from particle to particle, so a charged object will always distribute its charge until the repulsive forces are minimized.

A uniform 1.6-kg rod that is 0.89 m long is suspended at rest from the ceiling by two springs, one at each end. Both springs han
artcher [175]

Answer:

8.27°

Explanation:

To angle difference will be determined by the difference in the displacement of the springs, produced by the weight of the center of mass of the rod.

d=y_1-y_2=\frac{F_1}{k_1}-\frac{F_2}{k_2}=\frac{0.5mg}{31N/m}-\frac{0.5mg}{63N/m}\\\\d=0.5(1.6kg)(9.8m/s^2)[\frac{1}{31N/m}-\frac{1}{63N/m}]=0.128m

by a simple trigonometric relation you obtain that the angle:

sin\theta=\frac{d}{l}=\frac{0.128m}{0.89m}=0.144\\\\\theta=sin^{-1}(0.144)=8.27\°

hence, the angle between the rod and the horizontal is 8.27°
