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 do you know about nuclear energy?​
aev [14]

Answer:

Nuclear energy comes from splitting atoms in a reactor to heat water into steam, turn a turbine and generate electricity. Ninety-three nuclear reactors in 28 states generate nearly 20 percent of the nation's electricity, all without carbon emissions because reactors use uranium, not fossil fuels.

Two identical balls are thrown vertically upward. the second ball is thrown with an initial speed that is twice that of the firs
Temka [501]
The motion of the ball on the vertical axis is an accelerated motion, with acceleration 
a=g=-9.81 m/s^2
The following relationship holds for an uniformly accelerated motion:
2aS=v_f^2 - v_i^2
where S is the distance covered, vf the final velocity and vi the initial velocity.

If we take the moment the ball reaches the maximum height (let's call this height h), then at this point of the motion the vertical velocity is zero:
v_f =0
So we can rewrite the equation as
2(-9.81 m/s^2) h=-v_i^2
from which we can isolate h
h= \frac{v_i^2}{19.62} (1)

Now let's assume that v_i is the initial velocity of the first ball. The second ball has an initial velocity that is twice the one of the first ball: 2v_i. So the maximum height of the second ball is
h= \frac{(2v_i)^2}{19.62}= \frac{4v_i^2}{19.62} (2)

Which is 4 times the height we found in (1). Therefore, the maximum height of ball 2 is 4 times the maximum height of ball 1.

Marcus drove his Honda Prelude for 4 hours at a rate of 55 miles per hour. How far did he travel?
galben [10]
To solve this, you’d multiply 55 by 4, because he is travelling 55 miles every hour, for four hours, which means 55 miles every hour. The answer would be 220.
