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

I need the answer for Earths mass and the mass and weight for Mars.
Savatey [412]
.9736 x 1024 kg. That’s a big number, so let’s write it out in full: 5,973,600,000,000,000,000,000,000 kg. You could also say the Earth’s mass is 5.9 sextillion tonnes and the mass of Mars is 7.08 x 1020 tons or 6.42 X 1020 metric tons

when mary took a cold thick-walled glass out of the refrigerator and placed it in boiling water, the glass cracked. Explain why
goldfiish [28.3K]
The outer surface of the glass expands faster than the inside surface since glass is a fairly good thermal insulator. The outer surface tries to expand without the inner surface doing so at the same time. This is the secret of Pyrex glass. It is more conductive to heat and the inner and outer surface expand (and contract) at the same time.

If a machine exerts a force of 250 N on an object and no work is done, what must have occurred?
valina [46]

Answer:

<h2>1) There is no work done by the machine because</h2><h2>B) The object has not moved</h2><h2>2) There is no work done by the prisoner because</h2><h2>D) The prisoner does no work because the wall goes no distance</h2><h2>3) The kinetic energy when it is half the way down is</h2><h2>6.0 J</h2>

Explanation:

1) As we know that the work done is the product of force and displacement

It is given as

W = Fdcos\theta

so if the object is not displaced due to the force exerted by the object then the work done by the object must be ZERO

so correct answer is

B) The object has not moved

2) As we know that the work done is the product of force and displacement

It is given as

W = Fdcos\theta

As we know that the wall is not displaced due to applied force so here work done by the prisoner must be zero

D) The prisoner does no work because the wall goes no distance

3) As we know by work energy theorem that work done by all forces is equal to change in its kinetic energy

So we will have

W_g + W_f = \frac{1}{2} mv^2

so we will have

3(10)(4) + W_f = \frac{1}{2}(3)(3)^2

120 + W_f = 13.5

W_f = -106.5 J

now when cart moves half the distance then again using the same

W_g + W_f = K

K = 3(10)(2) - \frac{106.5}{2}

K = 6.5 J
