A simple circuit consists of a 100.-ohm resistor

If you want to make the total equivalent resistance as small as possible,
then you should connect the new resistor in parallel with the original one. 

When resistors are in parallel, then no matter how many of them there are
or what their individual values are, the total equivalent resistance is always
less than the smallest individual one.

For resistors in parallel .  . .

         (1 / total resistance) = (1/R₁) + (1/R₂) + (1/R₃) + . . . however many there are.

When there are only two resistors in parallel, you can take that formula, stretch it,
massage it, exercise it, manipulate it, and you find that

     Total equivalent resistance = (product of the resistors) / (sum of the resistors) .

With 100 ohms and 25 ohms in parallel,

     Total equivalent resistance = (100 x 25) / (100 + 25) = 2,500/125 = <em>20 ohms</em>.

Why is it important that radioisotopes used in diagnostic tests have short half-lives? 20 A) These radioisotopes have a greater
LiRa [457]

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 spring with a spring constant kk of 100 pounds per foot is loaded with 1-pound weight and brought to equilibrium. it is then s
tino4ka555 [31]

Given:

k = 100 lb/ft, m = 1 lb / (32.2 ft/s) = 0.03106 slugs 

Solution:


F = -kx 
mx" = -kx 
x" + (k/m)x = 0 

characteristic equation: 
r^2 + k/m = 0 
r = i*sqrt(k/m) 

x = Asin(sqrt(k/m)t) + Bcos(sqrt(k/m)t) 

ω = sqrt(k/m) 
2π/T = sqrt(k/m) 
T = 2π*sqrt(m/k) 
T = 2π*sqrt(0.03106 slugs / 100 lb/ft) 
T = 0.1107 s (period) 

x(0) = 1/12 ft = 0.08333 ft 
x'(0) = 0 

1/12 = Asin(0) + Bcos(0) 
B = 1/12 = 0.08333 ft 

x' = Aω*cos(ωt) - Bω*sin(ωt) 
0 = Aω*cos(0) - (1/12)ω*sin(0) 
0 = Aω 
A = 0 

So B would be the amplitude. Therefore, the equation of motion would be x = 0.08333*cos[(2π/0.1107)t]
