<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

<em>hope that helps !!</em>

Answer:

Mass of the aluminium chunk = 278.51 g

Explanation:

For an isolated system as given the energy lost and gains in the system will be zero therefore sum of all transfer of energy will be zero,as the temperature will also remain same

A specific heat formula is given as

Energy Change = Mass of liquid x Specific Heat Capacity x Change in temperature

Q = m×c×ΔT

Heat gain by aluminium + heat lost by copper = 0 (1)

For Aluminium:

Q = $m\times0.897\frac{J}{g.k}\times(25-5)$
