The light isotope of lithium, 5 Li, is unstable and breaks up spontaneously into a proton (hydrogen

Question:

The light isotope of lithium, 5Li, is unstable and breaks up spontaneously into a proton (hydrogen nucleus) and an α particle (helium nucleus). In this process, a total energy of 3.15 × 10−13J is released, appearing as the kinetic energy of the two reaction products. Determine the velocities of the proton and α particle that arise from the decay of a 5Li nucleus at rest.
