Answer:

Skin burns and increasing effect of cancer.

Explanation:

Ionizing radiations are majorly produced during radioactivity process. Radioactivity is the disintegration of radioactive elements to produce energy. This energy produced are in form of ionizing radiations. Most elements that undergoes radioactivity are unstable and they produce some electromagnetic radiations like gamma rays, alpha rays and beta rays. Some of this radiations are harmful to the health and serves as threats and hazards to humans. Some of this hazards caused by this radiations includes skin burns and cancer which are due to our exposure to sources of ionizing radiations some of which are x-rays in hospitals, soil and vegetation.

Centrifugal force increases with
belka [17]

Centrifugal force is not a real force. 

When you move around a curve, there IS a real force pulling you
around the curve.  Since your body wants to go straight, it feels as if
there's a force trying to pull you away from the curve.  But there isn't.

That feeling of a force is greater when your speed around the curve
is greater, or when the curve is tighter, i.e. smaller radius.
