<h3>yes, there are human health risks caused by exposure to x rays</h3>
  • describe the main risk (s) ::: - may cause damage to cells in the body

                                                      - large doses may lead cells to be cancerous        

                                                      - causes mutations in the DNA

  • describe common sources of exposure ( or overexposure ) :::

           - natural background radiation   e.g. - cosmic rays

           - medical radiation   e.g. - CT scans & medical x - rays

           - man - made radiation   e.g. - airport security scanners

  • describe a technology, device, or behavior that can be used for protection, or to decrease exposure :::

          - x - ray beam filters

          - digital x - ray detectors

          - technologies reduce radiation doses in radiography &  

            mammography

A 10 cm diameter pulley is used to lift a bucket of cement weighing 400 N. How much force must be applied to the rope to lift th
Alina [70]

hi brainly user! ૮₍ ˃ ⤙ ˂ ₎ა

⊱┈────────────────────────┈⊰

\large \bold {ANSWER}

Considering that the pulley is fixed, the force applied should be equal to the weight of the object - of 400N.

\large \bold {EXPLANATION}

Pulleys or pulleys are mechanical tools used to assist in the movement of objects and bodies. There are two types of pulleys: fixed and movable. While the fixed pulley changes the direction of force, the moving pulley helps to decrease the force needed to move the object or body in question.

As the statement only tells us a pulley, we must consider that it is fixed, <u>because generally when it is mobile, this information is highlighted in the question</u>.

In this way, a fixed pulley only changes the direction of the applied force. Thus, the force must have the same magnitude as the weight of the object to be moved. If the bucket weighs 400N, the force applied to the pulley must be 400N.

<u>Therefore, having a fixed pulley, the force applied must be equal to the weight of the object, and will be 400N.</u>

A halfback on an apparent breakaway for a touchdown is tackled from behind. If the halfback has a mass of 98 kg and was moving a
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

The mutual speed immediately after the touchdown-saving tackle is 4.80 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of halfback = 98 kg

Speed of halfback= 4.2 m/s

Mass of corner back = 85 kg

Speed of corner back = 5.5 m/s

We need to calculate their mutual speed immediately after the touchdown-saving tackle

Using conservation of momentum

m_{h}v_{h}+m_{c}v_{c}=m_{h+c}v_{h+c}

Where, m_{h}= mass of halfback

m_{c}=mass of corner back

v_{h}= velocity of halfback

v_{c}= velocity of corner back

Put the value into the formula

98\times4.2+85\times5.5=(98+85)\times v

v=\dfrac{98\times4.2+85\times5.5}{98+85}

v=4.80\ m/s

Hence, The mutual speed immediately after the touchdown-saving tackle is 4.80 m/s

Displacement vectors of 4 km north, 2 km south, 5 km north, and 5 km south combine to a total displacement of
valentinak56 [21]

south = -(north)

Displacement = (4 km north) + (2 km south) + (5 km north) + (5 km south)

Displacement = (4 km north) - (2 km north) + (5 km north) - (5 km north)

Displacement = (4 - 2 + 5 - 5) km north

<u>Displacement = 2 km north </u>
