Question:

A photon of total energy \(E=12,000 \mathrm{MeV}\) is absorbed by a nucleus of mass \(M_{0}\), originally at rest. Afterwards, the excited nucleus has mass \(M\) and is moving at speed (12/13) \(c\). Find its momentum in the units \(\mathrm{MeV} / c\), and both \(M\) and \(M_{0}\) in the units \(\mathrm{MeV} / c^{2}\).
