A single 224 U nucleus, initially at rest, emits an alpha particle as it decays into a 220 Th nucleus. There are no other decay products, and the kinetic energy of the alpha particle is measured to be 1.356 × 10 − 12 J . What is the total amount of nuclear potential energy PE nuclear , in joules, that is released in this process? PE nuclear = ___J What is the difference Δ m between the original mass of...

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.

1) When Uranium-235 (atomic number 92/mass number 235) is struck by a slow neutron it is split into two smaller elements and 3 neutrons (atomic number 0/mass number 1). If one of the elements it splits into is Strontium (Sr) (atomic number 38/mass number 90), what is the other element it splits into? Must include atomic number and mass number. 2) Uranium-238 eventually decays into Lead-206. The half-life of Uranium-238 is 4.5 x 109 or 4.5 billion years. A rock...
