An excited U* nucleus undergoes fission into two fragments,as shown:
U* →
Ba +
Kr The following atomic masses are known:
Kr: 91.926270 u
Ba: 143.922845 u
U*: 236.045563 u
Assume,at a given instant,that the two fission fragments are spherical,just barely in contact,and carry spherically symmetric charge distributions.At that instant,what is the electrostatic interaction energy of the two fragments,in MeV? (1 u = 1.6605 × 10-27 kg = 9
A) 230 MeV
