Answer:

c. 2 MeV.

Explanation:

The computation of the binding energy is shown below

= [Zm_p + (A - Z)m_n - N]c^2\\\\=[(1) (1.007825u) + (2 - 1 ) ( 1.008665 u) - 2.014102 u]c^2\\\\= (0.002388u)c^2\\\\= (.002388) (931.5 MeV)\\\\=2.22 MeV

= 2 MeV

As 1 MeV = (1 u) c^2

hence, the binding energy is 2 MeV

Therefore the correct option is c.

We simply applied the above formula so that the correct binding energy could come

And, the same is to be considered

A ball is thrown up at a speed of 20 m/s.
ioda

Given:

(Initial velocity)u=20 m/s

At the maximum height the final velocity of the ball is 0.

Also since it is a free falling object the acceleration acting on the ball is due to gravity g.

Thus a=- 9.8 m/s^2

Now consider the equation

v^2-u^2= 2as

Where v is the final velocity which is measured in m/s

Where u is the initial velocity which is measured in m/s

a is the acceleration due to gravity measured in m/s^2

s is the displacement of the ball in this case it is the maximum height attained by the ball which is measured in m.

Substituting the given values in the above formula we get

0-(20x20)= 2 x- 9.8 x s

s= 400/19.6= 20.41m

Thus the maximum height attained is 20.41 m by the ball

005 10.0 points
velikii [3]

Answer:

16.6 N

Explanation:

m = 0.52 kg, v₀ = 0, v = 8.6 m/s, t = 0.27 s

a = (v - v₀)/t

F = ma = m(v - v₀)/t = 0.52 (8.6 - 0)/0.27 = 16.6 N

At a given instant, the force on an electron is in the +z-direction (out of the page), which the electron is moving in the +x-di
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

The direction of the B-field is in the +y-direction.

Explanation:

The corresponding formula is

F_B = qv\times B

This means, we should use right-hand rule.

Our index finger is pointed towards +x-direction (direction of velocity),

our middle finger should point towards the direction of the B-field,

and our thumb should point towards the +z-direction (direction of the force).

Since our middle finger in this situation points towards +y-direction, the B-field should be in +y-direction.

\^{x} \times \^{y} = \^{z}
