The above is a plot of binding energy per nucleon $${E_b},$$ against the nuclear mass $$M;A,B,C,D,E,F$$ correspond to different nuclei. Consider four reactions :
$$\eqalign{ & \left( i \right)\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,A + B \to C + \varepsilon \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\left( {ii} \right)\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,C \to A + B + \varepsilon \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, \cr & \left( {iii} \right)\,\,\,\,\,\,D + E \to F + \varepsilon \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\left( {iv} \right)\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,F \to D + E + \varepsilon ,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, \cr} $$

where $$\varepsilon $$ is the energy released? In which reactions is $$\varepsilon $$ positive?

A $$p$$-$$n$$ junction $$(D)$$ shown in the figure can act as a rectifier. An alternating current source $$(V)$$ is connected in the circuit.

The current $$(I)$$ in the resistor $$(R)$$ can be shown by :

Consider a rubber ball freely falling from a height $$h=4.9$$ $$m$$ onto a horizontal elastic plate. Assume that the duration of collision is negligible and the collision with the plate is totally elastic.

Then the velocity as a function of time and the height as a function of time will be :
