Homework Statement
Just one more nuclear question if I may,
Homework Equations
None.
The Attempt at a Solution
I can do the first part of this question, but am unsure on the second part. I thought it may be related to the Q-factor (the difference in energy of the initial and final products for a reaction) but I'm not sure. And how can the parent products have kinetic energy? is it moving?
Does it relate to this diagram (sorry for the quality, my paint skills have decayed exponentially since my teenage years)
Or am I right in thinking it wants the Q-factor equation which would be somethihng like ##
Q = M_{parent} - M_{daughter}> 0\\\\
Q= \sum E_{k}##
thanks again for any ideas.
