Physics Question on kinetic theory
A stationary nitrogen (714N) nucleus is bombarded with α- particle (24He) and the following nuclear reaction takes place:
If the kinetic energies of 24 and 24H are 5.314MeV and 4.012MeV, respectively, then the kinetic energy of 8170 is MeV. (Rounded off to one decimal place)
(Masses are given in units of 𝑢 = 931.5MeV/c2 )
Answer
The correct answer is: 0.4
