In a certain nuclear reaction initiated by 5.5-MeV α particles, the outgoing particles are measured to have kinetic energies of 1.1 MeV and 8.4 MeV. (a) What is the Q value of the reaction? (b) If exactly the same reaction were initiated by 10-MeV α particles, what is the Q value? (The outgoing energies will change.)
