Question:

An alpha particle with kinetic energy 7.70MeV collides with an 14N nucleus at rest, and the two transform into an 17O nucleus and a proton. The proton is emitted at 90o to the direction of the incident alpha particle and has a kinetic energy of 4.44 MeV. The masses of the various particles are alpha particle, 4.00260 u; 14N, 14.00307 u; proton, 1.007825 u; and 17O, 16.99914u. In MeV, what are?

(a) The kinetic energy of the oxygen nucleus and

(b) The Q of the reaction?
