Answer:

The total binding energy of the nucleus with 200 nucleons more than the total binding energy of the nucleus with 60 nucleons

Explanation:

Binding energy can be given by the formula:

Binding energy = Binding energy per nucleon * Number of nucleons

This means that if the binding energy per nucleon = x MeV

Where x is a positive real number

The nucleus with 60 nucleons will have Binding energy = 60x MeV

The nucleus with 200 nucleons will have binding energy = 200x MeV

For a +ve x, 200x > 60x

A tennis player hits a ball at an angle of 50 degrees above horizontal so that it has an acceleration of 12 m/s2. What is the ho
harkovskaia [24]
So we want to know what is the magnitude of the horizontal component of acceleration ah if we know that the overall acceleration a=12 m/s^2 and the angle of overall acceleration and the horizontal acceleration is α=50°. We know that ah=a*cosα. So now it isn't hard to get the horizontal component: ah=12*cos50=12*0.64=7.71 m/s^2. So the correct answer is ah=7.71 m/s^2.
