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.

A uranium nucleus (mass 238 u), initially at rest, undergoes a radioactive decay. After an alpha particle ( mass 4.0 u) is emitted, the remaining nucleus is thorium (mass 234 u). If the alpha particle is moving at 0.050 times the speed of light, what is the recoil speed of the thorium nucleus?

The carbon isotope 14C is used for carbon dating of archeological artifacts. 14C ( mass 2.34×10−26kg) decays by the process known as beta decay in which the nucleus emits an electron (the beta particle) and a subatomic particle called a neutrino. In one such decay, the electron and the neutrino are emitted at right angles to each other. The electron ( mass 9.11×10−31kg ) has a speed of 5.7×107 m/s and the neutrino has a momentum of 6.9×10−24 kg⋅m/s ....

A uranium-238 nucleus at rest undergoes radioactive decay, splitting into an alpha particle (helium nucleus) with mass 6.64×10-27 kg and a thorium nucleus with mass 3.89×10-25 kg. The measured kinetic energy of the alpha particle is 4.49×10-13 J. After the decay, what is the magnitude of the momentum of the thorium nucleus? Incorrect. Tries 1/20 Previous Tries After the decay, what is the kinetic energy of the thorium nucleus? 7.664×10-15 J You are correct. Your receipt no. is 158-4017

Beryllium-8 is an unstable isotope and decays into two α particles, which are helium nuclei with mass 6.68×10−27kg. This decay process releases 1.5×10−14J of energy. For this problem, let's assume that the mass of the Beryllium-8 nucleus is just twice the mass of an α particle and that all the energy released in the decay becomes kinetic energy of the α particles. If the Beryllium-8 nucleus is moving in the positive x-direction with a speed of 1.0×106 m/s when it...
