Why is it important that radioisotopes used in diagnostic tests have short half-lives? 20 A) These radioisotopes have a greater

activity so they B) This minimizes the harmful side effects of the radiation. C) This is necessary so the radioisotopes will have high energy D) These radioisotopes are less expensive. E) These radioisotopes are more abundant in nature are easier to monitor

Answer:

Option B) This minimizes the harmful side effects of the radiations

Explanation:

Half-life is the time taken for the decay of an radio-active atom in which it disintegrates such that it becomes half of its value at the beginning.... The nuclei should be in active mode for a longer duration sufficient for the treatment of the condition but these nuclei should have a sufficient  shorter half life so that they don't get enough time to cause any  damage to the health of the person other than treating the cause.

A shorter half life gives the assurance that the radiation after the treatment will leave the body without getting accumulated and cause harm to the body cells and other organs.

A student said, "The displacement between my dorm and the lecture hall is 1 kilometer."
Ann [662]

Answer:

d) Both a and b are correct

Explanation:

Displacement: It is defined as the distance between initial and final position during motion.

Distance: It is defined as the total path length traveled by object

Or

It is the distance of one place from other place.

Student said that the displacement between my dorm and the lecture hall is 1km.

It is not displacement .It is distance or we say path length.

Therefore, he is using  incorrect physical quantity for the information provided.

He should have called distance 1 km or path length 1 km.

Option d is true.

Two cars are traveling around identical circular racetracks. Car A travels at a constant speed of 20 m/s. Car B starts at rest a
Tomtit [17]

Answer:

b. it has the same centripetal acceleration as car A.

Explanation:

According to the question, the data provided is as follows

Constant speed of car A = 20 m/s

Constant tangential acceleration until its speed is 40 m/s

Based on the above information, the true statement is the same centripetal acceleration as car A because

As we know that

Centripetal acceleration is

= \frac{V^2}{r}

where,

V^2 = velocity

r = radius of the path

Now if both car A and car B moving in the same or identical circular path having the same velocity so in this case there is the same centripetal acceleration for that particular time

hence, the second option is correct
