In the nuclear reaction shown, a neutron (moving with negligible kinetic energy) hits a Uranium-235 nucleus. The resulting unstable nucleus fissions into Krypton-92, Barium-141, and three neutrons.
Data:
Uranium-235 mass: 390.300x10^-27 kg
Krypton-92 mass: 152.647x10^-27 kg
Barium-141 mass: 233.994x10^-27 kg
Neutron mass: 1.675x10^-27 kg
