Cobalt has an atomic number (Z) of 27, which means the nuclei of all its isotopes have 27 protons. Cobalt 60 has an atomic mass of 60, so it has 60-27 = 33 neutrons.

The mass of 27 isolated protons plus the mass of 33 isolated neutrons would be:

27*(1.007825 u) + 33*(1.008665 u) = 60.497220 u

The actual mass of the nucleus of 60-Co is 59.933820 u.

Mass defect: 60.497220 u - 59.933820 u = 0.563400 u

The mass defect is equal to the binding energy of a nucleus.
using the fact that 1 u = 931.5 MeV/c^2

(0.563400 u)*(931.5 MeV/u) = 524.807 MeV

Who can help me with these questions
damaskus [11]
#15(A)
First Bike
$380 - $190 ($380 * 0.50) = $190

2nd Bike
$380 - $114 ( $380 * 0.30) = $266
$266 - $53.20 ($266 * 0.20) = $212.80

#15 (B)
Eliza should buy the first bike because it is cheaper. $190 < $212.80

#16
$57 + $28.50 ($57 * .50) = $85.50

satela [25.4K]
Pineapple juice : orange juice : lime juice = 2:7:3
So there is 2x of pineapple juice, 7x of orange juice and 3x of lime juice.

2x+7x+3x=600 \\&#10;12x=600 \\&#10;x=50 \\ \\&#10;pineapple \ juice \to 2x = 2 \times 50=100

She used 100 ml of pineapple juice.
