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](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%3D%20%5BZm_p%20%2B%20%28A%20-%20Z%29m_n%20-%20N%5Dc%5E2%5C%5C%5C%5C%3D%5B%281%29%20%281.007825u%29%20%2B%20%282%20-%201%20%29%20%28%201.008665%20u%29%20-%202.014102%20u%5Dc%5E2%5C%5C%5C%5C%3D%20%280.002388u%29c%5E2%5C%5C%5C%5C%3D%20%28.002388%29%20%28931.5%20MeV%29%5C%5C%5C%5C%3D2.22%20MeV)
= 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
Increasing its velocity will add to the kinetic energy more as the formula for kinetic energy is 0.5*m*v^2. (The speed will be squared making it greater)
