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.

What is the difference between a general and a specific tolerance, and how can you tell the difference on a drawing?
Gnesinka [82]
<span>During the reading of a blueprint, a general tolerance pertains to all dimensions that are not independently identified. All tolerances are +\- .030. General tolerances are mostly found in the blueprint’s set of information. Let’s say for example, a compact tolerance is required, then a specific tolerance is considered for specific areas of the blueprint. These kinds of tolerances are commonly found along the affected area.</span>

How can different objects interact when they are not even touching?
jeka94

Answer: Magnetic and gravitational force

Explanation: When a magnet and an iron nail are kept at a distance,the magnet attracts the nail without touching using magnetic force. In this example, the magnet and the nail are interacting.

The earth pulls the moon towards it and keeps it in orbit without touching it, using gravitational force. In this example,the moon and the earth are interacting.

What is the velocity of a bicycle in meters per second if it travels 1 kilometer west in 4.1 minutes
valentinak56 [21]
1 kilometre is equal to 1000m
and 4.1 minutes is equal to 246 seconds
thus 1000/246 = 4.065 m/s
and the direction is towards the west
