To solve this question, let us first calculate how much all the nucleons will weigh when they are apart, that is: 
<span>Mass of 25 protons = 25(1.0073) = 25.1825 amu </span>

Mass of neutrons = (55-25)(1.0087) = 30.261 amu 

So, total mass of nucleons = 30.261+25.1825 = 55.4435 amu 

<span>Now we subtract the mass of nucleons and mass of the Mn nucleus:
55.4435 - 54.938 = 0.5055 amu 

This difference in mass is what we call as the mass defect of a nucleus. Now we calculate the binding energy using the formula:</span>

<span> E=mc^2 </span>

<span>But first convert mass defect in units of SI (kg):
Δm = 0.5055 amu = (0.5055) / (6.022x10^26) 
<span>Δm = 8.3942x10^-28 kg</span>

Now applying the formula, 
E=Δm c^2 
E=(8.3942x10^-28)(3x10^8)^2 
E=7.55x10^-11 J</span>

 

Convert energy from Joules to mev then divide by total number of nucleons (55):

E = 7.55x10^-11 J * (6.242x10^12 mev / 1 J) / 55 nucleons

<span>E = 8.57 mev / nucleon</span>

Passive prostheses are:
Len [333]

Passive prostheses are self-regulating, as shown in the first answer option.

We can arrive at this answer because:

  • Passive prostheses are devices used to replace parts of the body that were lost by an incident.
  • These prostheses are very useful to establish balance or the aesthetics of the body, but they have no articulations and no movement mechanism, being static.

This limitation allows passive prostheses not to need external regulation and to be self-regulated by fitting the body parts.

You can find more information about articulations and their effects on the link:
