JEE Physics Practice Question

The minimum kinetic energy needed by an alpha particle to cause the nuclear reaction ${ }_{7}{ }_{7} \mathrm{~N}+$ ${ }_{2}^{4} \mathrm{He} \rightarrow{ }_{1}^{1} \mathrm{H}+{ }_{8}^{19} \mathrm{O}$ in a laboratory frame is $n$ (in $M e V$ ). Assume that ${ }_{7}^{16} \mathrm{~N}$ is at rest in the laboratory frame. The masses of ${ }_{7}^{16} \mathrm{~N},{ }_{2}^{4} \mathrm{He},{ }_{1}^{1} \mathrm{H}$ and ${ }_{8}^{19} \mathrm{O}$ can be taken to be $16.006 u, 4.003 u, 1.008 u$ and 19.003 $u$, respectively, where $1 u=930 \mathrm{MeV}^{-2}$. What is the value of $n$?
