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.

Explain how the pressure at the bottom of a container depends on the container shape and the fluid height
3241004551 [841]

The pressure at the bottom of a column of fluid in a container
depends only on the depth of the fluid, not on the shape of the
container.  The pressure is simply the result of the weight of the
fluid resting on the bottom.

Which is denser?<br><br> The water in a swimming pool or a quarter (coin).
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

The coin is denser than any of the liquids, and will sink through everything. The oil is the least dense liquid, so it will float on the water, and the syrup is the densest liquid, so it will sink below the water.

An electron in a Bohr model hydrogen atom jumps from the 2nd energy level to the 4th level. Is the photon emitted or absorbed by
vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

Photon is absorbed by the atom

Explanation:

For an electron to jump from lower energy level to higher energy level it needs some energy. This process can only take place when the atom absorbs energy, which can be in the form of photons. When the electron jumps to higher energy levels, it is known as excited state and it is not stable. So the electron will try to come back to lower energy level and in that process it will release energy.
