Consider a nuclear reaction A+B rarr C. ...

Consider a nuclear reaction `A+B rarr C`. A nucleus `A` moving with kinetic energy of `5 MeV` collides with a nucleus `B` moving with kinetic energy of `3MeV` and forms a nucleus `C` in exicted state. Find the kinetic energy of nucleus `C` just after its fromation if it is formed in a state with excitation energy `10 MeV`. Take masses of nuclei of `A,B` and `C ` as `25.0,10.0,34.995 amu`, respectively.
(1amu=`930 MeV//c^(2))`.
