3. A beam of helium-3 atoms (m = 3.016 u) is incident on a target of nitrogen-14 atoms (m = 14.003 u) at rest. Dur- ing the collision, a proton from the helium-3 nucleus passes to the nitrogen nucleus, so that following the col- lision there are two atoms: an atom of "heavy hydro- gen" (deuterium, m = 2.014 u) and an atom of oxygen-15 15.003 u). The incident helium atoms are moving at (m a velocity of 6.346 × 10° m/s. After the collision, the deu- terium atoms are observed to be moving forward (in the same direction as the initial helium atoms) with a velocity of 1.531 x 10' m/s.
