A copper penny has a mass of 2.4 g. Determine the energy (in MeV) that would be required to break all the copper nuclei into their constituent protons and neutrons. Ignore the energy that binds the electrons to the nucleus and the energy that binds one atom to another in the structure of the metal. For simplicity, assume that all the copper nuclei are Cu (atomic mass = 62.939 598 u). - Energy required = Number Units
