Nuclear binding energy is necessary to overcome EINSTEIN'S MASS DEFECT. Nuclear binding energy refers to the energy required to separate an atomic nucleus into its constituent elements, that is protons and electrons. The mass of a nucleus is always less than the sum of all its constituents. The difference is a measure of the nuclear binding energy which holds the nucleus together and it is called mass defect and can be calculated for using Einstein's formula for mass defect.

Two cars start from rest at a red stop light. When the light turns green, both cars accelerate forward. The blue car accelerates

marta [7]

First, create an illustration of the motion of the two cars as shown in the attached picture. The essential equations used are:

For constant acceleration:
a = v,final - v,initial /t
d = v,initial*t + 1/2*at²

For constant velocity:
d = constant velocity*time

The solutions is as follows:

a = v,final - v,initial /t
3.8 = (v₁ - 0)/4.6 s
v₁ = 17.48 m/s

Total distance = d1 + d2 + d3
d1 = d = v,initial*t + 1/2*at²
d2 = constant velocity*time

Total distance = 0*(4.6) + 1/2*(3.8)(4.6)² + (17.48)(9.2) + d3= 257.71
d3 = 56.69 m
