The medical imaging technology magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is used in hospitals and radiology clinics. MRI creates detailed images of the organs and tissues within the body using a powerful magnetic field and radio waves. 1)Even when the MRI machine is not in use, MRI system operators make sure not to bring any metallic objects into the room where the machine is housed. Why? And what happens if a magnet is heated?Elaborate your answer

As an expert or have knowledge about ergonomics, what are your thoughts on implementing procedures to prevent injuries in the kitchen or in a hotel? Moreover, thoughts on being in a digital era in which gadgets or VR can be a help in making the workplace uncomplicated. Examples of scenarios are the housekeepers and cooks: San Francisco hotel employees reported work-related pain or discomfort. That same year, the American Journal of Industrial Medicine published another study that reported that 62% of all housekeeping injuries were identified as musculoskeletal disorders, such as tendinopathy and arthritis. The biggest problem in the kitchen, though, is heat. While this not only presents physical health risks, it also creates stress in an already high-pressure environment. “If you take the heat out of the kitchen, it becomes more calm and collected,” explains Pedretti. “So you have to look at the type of equipment you put in there.”

An investigation was set up to determine the effect of various surfaces on the amount of time it takes a snail to move between two points. A ramp was made, covered with a piece of glass, and placed on a table at a 25-degree angle. Two lines, 15 centimeters apart, were drawn on the glass. A snail was placed on the upper line, and a stopwatch was used to measure the 2) amount of time it took the snail to move to the lower line. The results were recorded in a data table. The investigation was repeated using sandpaper and cardboard on the surface of the ramp. What must be done to show that the results of this investigation are valid? A) The ramp must be replaced with a log found in the habitat of the snail. B) The angle of the ramp must be increased to 35 degrees. C) The investigation must be repeated several times. D) The times in the data table must be averaged.
