Answer:

Mammography is the process in which low energy radiations are used to diagnose and screening. The purpose of this process is the early detection of the breast cancer. These low energy radiations may have some risks like damaging and burning of cells.  

In the current scenario, woman is apprehensive because she has read about the risks of using ionizing radiations. The radiographer should tell her the benefits of the mammography will outweigh its potential consequences. Screening, for instance, will let her know if she is suffering from breast cancer. Cancer is very dangerous disease as compare to very small burning.

In this way radiographer should handle the situation.

Through what vertical height is a 50 N object moved if 250 J of work is done lifting it against the gravitational field of Earth
zimovet [89]

5m

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Weight of object = 50N

Work done in lifting object = 250J

Unknown:

Vertical height = ?

Solution:

The work done on an object is the force applied to lift a body in a specific direction.

   Work done = force x distance

  Weight is a force in the presence of gravity;

  Work done = weight x height of lifting

Height of lifting = \frac{work done }{weight}

 Height of lifting = \frac{250}{50} = 5m

The vertical height through which the object was lifted is 5m
