Answer & ExplanationAnswer: A) The most commonly thought of hazard in construction. This hazard includes radiation, extreme temperatures, noise, and vibration.
Explanation:
A physical hazard is defined as "A factor within the environment that can harm the body without necessarily touching it."
Vibration and noise are examples of physical hazards.
Physical hazards include but aren't limited to electricity, radiation, pressure, noise, heights and vibration amongst many others.
The green house effect. The waves of smaller wavelength from the sun enter inside the car through the glass windows and are absorbed. The waves of larger wavelength emitted from inside cannot get out through the glass, but remain inside and make it terribly hot.
Any of the basic mechanical devices for applying a force are called simple machines.
There are 6 basic simple machines; the lever, the wheel and axle, the inclined plane, the wedge, the pulley, and the screw. Several of these simple machines are related to each other. But, each has a specific purpose in the world of doing work.
