?m = mass defect = 218.008973 u - 213.999805 u - 4.002603 u = 0.006565 u
So kinetic energy of the emitted particle = ?m×931 MeV
= 0.006565×931 = 6.112 MeV

86X212 (atomic mass = 211.99068 u) undergoes decay. Assuming all the released energy is in the form of kinetic energy of the particle (atomic mass = 4.002603 u) and ignoring the recoil of the daughter nucleus (84X1208 atomic mass = 207.98123 u), find the speed of the particle. Ignore relativistic effects. Number Units

Suppose some nucleus undergoes decay, releasing 5.4 MeV of
energy. If the daughter product of this reaction is 93X237 (atomic
mass = 237.04816) , it will recoil away as the particle leaves.
Determine (a) the energy of the daughter product and (b) the energy
of the particle (atomic mass = 4.002603 u). Assume that the energy
of each particle is kinetic energy, and ignore any other small
amounts of energy that might be carried away by other emissions. In
addition,...

The nucleus of the polonium isotope 214Po (mass 214 u ) is radioactive and decays by emitting an alpha particle (a helium nucleus with mass 4 u). Laboratory experiments measure the speed of the alpha particle to be 1.76×107 m/s.Assuming the polonium nucleus was initially at rest, what is the recoil speed of the nucleus that remains after the decay?Express your answer with the appropriate units.
