APFIVE Kinetic Energy Distribution in a Nuclear Reaction
A neutron with kinetic energy 0.025 eV is absorbed by a boron-10 nucleus, producing a lithium-7 nucleus and an alpha particle. If the Q-value of this reaction is 2.79 MeV, what fraction of the total kinetic energy of the products is carried by the alpha particle?
A
0.50
B
0.63
C
0.37
D
0.75
