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.

What is the resistance at 20°C of a 2.0-meter length of tungsten wire with a cross-sectional area of 7.9 10^-7
Bad White [126]

Answer:

1.4 * 10 ^-1 Ω

Explanation:

Hi,

For this question, we gotta use the formula

R = pL/A

p = The resistivity of your material at 20°C

L = length of the wire

A = cross-sectional area

The resistivity of tungsten is 5.60 * 10^-8 at 20°C

By plugging the values, we get:

R = (5.60 * 10^-8)(2.0)/(7.9*10^-7) = 1.4 * 10 ^-1 Ω

physics A river flows at a speed vr = 5.37 km/hr with respect to the shoreline. A boat needs to go perpendicular to the shorelin
vova2212 [387]

Answer: Vb is the vector  (-5.37m/s,  8.59 m/s), with a module 10.13m/s

then the ratio Vb/Vr = 10.13m/s/5.37m/s = 1.9

Explanation:

We can use the notation (x, y) where the river flows in the x-axis and the pier is on the y-axis.

We have Vr = (5.37m/s, 0m/s)

Now, if the boat wants to move only along the y-axis (perpendicularly to the shore).

The velocity of the boat Vb will be:

Vb = (-c*sin(32). c*cos(32))

Then we should have that:

5.37 m/s - c*sin(32) = 0

c = (5.37/sin(32))m/s = 10.13 m/s

the velocity in the y-axis is:

10.13m/s*cos(32) = 8.59 m/s

So Vb = (-5.37m/s,  8.59 m/s)

the ratio Vb/Vr = 10.13m/s/5.37m/s = 1.9 where i used Vb as the module of the boat's velocity.
