A heavy nucleus N, at rest, undergoes fission N→ P+Q, where P and Q are two lighter nuclei. Let 8 = MN - Mp - Mo, where Mp, Mo and My are the masses of P, Q and N, respectively. Ep and EQ are the kinetic energies of P and Q, respectively. The speeds of P and Q are Vp and vo, respectively. If c is the speed of light, which of the following statement(s) is(are) correct? (A) Ep + EQ = c²8 (B) Ep (C) Me Mp + Mo P Vp M₂ Vo Mp c²8 M₂M₂ (Mp + Mo) (D) The magnitude of momentum for P as well as Q is c√√2u8, where µ = .
