How long does radioactive isotope stay in your body? The half-lives of radioisotopes used in medicine range from a few minutes to a few days. For example, rubidium-82, which is used for myocardial perfusion imaging has a half- life of 1.26 minutes, while iodine-131, used in thyroid treatment and diagnosis, has a half- life of […]

How much time will it take to learn physics? The thing with high-school physics is that if you know high-school mathematics very well and have atleast average memory, it takes about half a year of about an hour or two daily to be able to ace SAT physics exam. If you struggle with mathematics, learn […]

Do we need the sun to live? Do Humans Need Sunlight To Survive? The sun is the source of all heat and light energy on Earth. Humans get our energy from the food we eat, and all of that food is derived from the energy of the sun. So, we need the sun to survive. […]

Why is a touchdown six points? So, a touch down is worth two field goals and you get a bonus with a touch down by trying either a 2 point or 1 point conversion after the touch down. Therefore, the 6 points is one up from a Rugby try and in balance with the several […]

What are three things that affect longshore currents? When a wave breaks at a more acute (steep) angle on a beach, encounters a steeper beach slope, or is very high, longshore currents increase in velocity. Conversely, a wider breaking angle, gentler beach slope, and lower wave height slows a longshore current’s velocity. What causes long […]

What does left curve mean? The roadway ahead curves to the left. Slow your speed and keep well to the right. The sign may be accompanied by an advisory speed placard, helping you navigate the curve safely. What are the two classification of lines? How many types of lines are there? There are two basic […]

Can you or can you please? “Could” is the polite form of “can”—so both are correct, but we use them in different situations. We use “can” when we are telling someone to do something. We use “could” when we are making a request. Teacher to students: “Can you please be quiet!” What does explain yourself […]

Which fluid has the highest viscosity? For instance, honey has a much higher viscosity than water. Viscosity is measured using a viscometer. Measured values span several orders of magnitude. Of all fluids, gases have the lowest viscosities, and thick liquids have the highest. Does volume affect viscosity? Most recent answer. The more viscous a fluid […]

Does body temp go up at night? It tends to go up and down a little during the day, and the same is true at night, although while you’re sleeping it can be 1 to 2 degrees lower than in the daytime. Body temperature starts to fall as bedtime approaches, paving the way for a […]

How accurate is a spectrophotometer? The minimum is not sharp and good results can be expected in a transmittance range from 0.2 to 0.6 or an absorbance range from 0.7 to 0.2. An inspection of the graph below indicates that transmittance values of 0.1 and 0.8 are the outside limits between which one can expect […]
