Plz help An X-ray technician will place a lead cloth over parts of your body when taking an X-ray to protect your cells from bei

ng damaged. Why do X-rays have the potential to harm your body but radio waves do not?
Question 6 options:

a.X-rays have a taller wavelength than radio waves as shown in the diagram, so they are more harmful.


c.Radio waves have longer wavelengths than X-rays and therefore carry more energy than X-rays.


c.Radio waves are shorter than X-rays and therefore weaker in strength..


d.X-rays have a much shorter wavelength than radio waves, and therefore carry more energy that can be transferred to your body.

Answer: The correct option is d.

Explanation:

The wavelength and the frequency have an inverse relationship. The shorter the wavelength of the wave, higher the frequency of the wave. Then the photon energy of the waves will be high because the energy of the photon is directly proportional to the frequency.

X-rays have a much shorter wavelength than radio waves. It carries more energy. It can ionize the matter. When it is incident on the biological material then it can disrupt the molecular bond.

This is the reason that an X-ray technician places a a lead cloth over parts of your body when taking an X-ray to protect your cells from being damaged.

Therefore, the correct option is d.

Answer:

Increasing the mass and decreasing the distance between the two objects.

Explanation:

An increase in mass will cause them to have a stronger pull or gravity. A decrease of distance will make it easier for the objects to fall into each other because they would be further into the other objects area of influence.

How do kinetic and potential energy transfer to one throughout a roller coaster ride?
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

As the cars ascend the next hill, some kinetic energy is transformed back into potential energy. Then, when the cars descend this hill, potential energy is again changed to kinetic energy. This conversion between potential and kinetic energy continues throughout the ride.

Consider a uniform horizontal wooden board that acts as a pedestrian bridge. The bridge has a mass of 300 kg and a length of 10
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

F = 2123.33N

Explanation:

In order to calculate the torque applied by the left support, you take into account that the system is at equilibrium. Then, the resultant of the implied torques are zero.

\Sigma \tau=0

Next, you calculate the resultant of the torques around the right support, by taking into account that the torques are generated by the center of mass of the wooden, the person and the left support. Furthermore, you take into account that torques in a clockwise direction are negative and in counterclockwise are positive.

Then, you obtain the following formula:

-\tau_l+\tau_p+\tau_{cm}=0          (1)

τl: torque produced by the left support

τp: torque produced by the person

τcm: torque produced by the center of mass of the wooden

The torque is given by:

\tau=Fd           (2)

F: force applied

d: distance to the pivot of the torque, in this case, distance to the right support.

You replace the equation (2) into the equation (1) and take into account that the force applied by the person and the center of mass of the wood are the their weight:

-Fd_1+W_pd_2+W_{cm}d_3=0\\\\d_1=6.0m\\\\d_2=2.0m\\\\d_3=3.0m\\\\W_p=(200kg)(9.8m/s^2)=1960N\\\\W_{cm}=(300kg)(9.8m/s^2)=2940N

Where d1, d2 and d3 are distance to the right support.

You solve the equation for F and replace the values of the other parameters:

F=\frac{W_pd_2+W_d_3}{d_1}=\frac{(1960N)(2.0m)+(2940N)(3.0m)}{6.0m}\\\\F=2123.33N

The force applied by the left support is 2123.33 N
