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

Andrew [12]

Answer:

The magnitude of the angular acceleration ∝ = \frac{rxF}{2.8[tex]r^{2}}[/tex]

Explanation:

The angular acceleration ∝ is equal to the torque (radius multiplied by force) divided by the mass times the square of the radius. The magnitude of angular acceleration ∝ will have the equation above but we have to replace the mass in the equation by 2.8kg as stated.

A ball is thrown forward at 5 m/s how would the path of the ball differ on earth than on the moon
Levart [38]
In this problem, we are given that a ball is thrown upward and that it has an initial velocity of 5 m/s. Its path both on Earth and on the moon will be trajectory in nature. This is because while its horizontal velocity is maintained, its vertical velocity increases.
