The answer for Plato users is C. It is the energy that is required to overcome mass defect.

From Plato "Nuclear binding energy is the energy that is required to overcome the energy that is used to keep the nucleus together, the mass defect."

Answer: Option (B) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

As nucleus of an atom contains protons and neutrons and due to the same charge present n protons there will occur repulsion.

Hence, a binding energy will act on the nucleus of an atom which will bind the protons and neutrons together. When this binding energy is greater than the force of repulsion between the sub-atomic particles of a nucleus then the atom is stable.

Therefore, to change the nucleus of an atom high amount of energy is required. As a result, nuclear reactions tend to release large amount of energy due to changes in the nucleus of an atom.

Thus, we can conclude that the statement it is the energy that is required to bind protons and neutrons together in a nucleus, best describes nuclear binding energy.

A car is moving at a velocity of 25 km/h and increases velocity to 1200 km/h in 2 min. what is the acceleration?
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

a = 2.72 [m/s2]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use the following kinematics equation:

v_{f} =v_{o} + a*t

where:

Vf = final velocity = 1200 [km/h]

Vo = initial velocity = 25 [km/h]

t = time = 2 [min] = 2/60 = 0.0333 [h]

1200 = 25 + (a*0.0333)

a = 35250.35 [km/h2]

if we convert these units to units of meters per second squared

35250.35[\frac{km}{h^{2} }]*(\frac{1}{3600^{2} })*[\frac{h^{2} }{s^{2} } ]*(\frac{1000}{1} )*[\frac{m}{km} ] = 2.72 [\frac{m}{s^{2} } ]

Emily wanted to see what battery lasted the longest. She put each battery into a clock and recorded the time that the clock stop
AURORKA [14]

Answer:

This question is asking to identify the following variables:

Independent variable (IV): Battery

Dependent variable (DV): Time the clock stopped

Constant: Same clock

Control: No stated control

Explanation:

The independent variable in an experiment is the variable that is subject to manipulation or change by the experimenter. In this experiment, the independent variable is the BATTERIES (Duracell, Energizer, Kroger brand, EverReady).

The dependent variable is the variable that responds to the changes made to the independent variable. It is the variable that the experimenter measures. In this case, the dependent variable is the TIME IT TAKES FOR THE CLOCK TO STOP.

Constants or control variable is the variable that the experimenter keeps constant or unchanged for all groups throughout the experiment in order not to influence the outcome of the experiment. The constant in this case is the SAME CLOCK USED.

Control group is the group that does not receive the experimental treatment or independent variable in an experiment. In this case, all groups received a different kind of battery.

How long does water evaporation take? What factors influence it?
svetoff [14.1K]
There is no certain time on how long it takes. Because the factors will always be different and the factors heavily affect the evaporation time. Some factors include: humidity, heat, how the sun is visible (whether clouds are covering it or not)

A golfer tees off and hits a golf ball at a speed of 31 m/s and at an angle of 35 degrees. How long was the ball in the air? Rou
Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

3.6 seconds

Explanation:

Given:

y₀ = y = 0 m

v₀ = 31 sin 35° m/s

a = -9.8 m/s²

Find: t

y = y₀ + v₀ t + ½ at²

0 = 0 + (31 sin 35°) t + ½ (-9.8 m/s²) t²

0 = 17.78t − 4.9t²

0 = t (17.78 − 4.9t)

t = 0 or 3.63

Rounded to the nearest tenth, the ball lands after 3.6 seconds.
