<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>

you have a 200 kg bag being lifted with a block and tackle. If you pull with 100 newtons what is the MA of the system?
Korvikt [17]

Answer:

The mechanical advantage of the system is equal to 19.62

Explanation:

The ratio of the force produced by a machine to the force applied to it is called mechanical advantage. In other words it is the ratio of output force to the input force.

In this problem mass=200kg

applied force=100N  

input force=100N

output force=mg=200 \times 9.8=196N.

mechanical advantage MA= \frac{1960}{100}=19.6

It gives an idea about the efficiency of a mechanical device. It is indeed a measure of force amplification. In block and tackle system an assembly of ropes and pulleys is used to lift loads. When the moving block is supported by a  greater  number of rope sections the force amplification will be more.

The first few steps in deriving the quadratic formula are shown. Which best explains why is not added to the left side of the eq
bija089 [108]
The term b^2 / 4a^2 is not added to the left side of the equation, because the term that was added to the right was not either b^2 / 4 a^2.

As you can see the ther b^2 / 4a^2 that appears in the last step of the table is inside a parenthesis, which is preceded by factor a.


Then, you need to apply the distributive property to know the term that you are really adding to the right side,  i.e. you need to mulitply b^2 / 4a^2 * a which is b^2 / 4a.


That means that you are really adding b^2 / 4a to the right, so that is the same that you have to add to the left, which is what the last step of the table shows.


That situation is reflected by the statement "<span>The distributive property needs to be applied to determine the value to add to the left side of the equation to balance the sides of the equation".</span>  That is the answer.
