A uranium-238 atom can break up into a thorium-234atom and a particle called an alpha particle, α-4. The numbers indicate the inertias of the atoms and the alpha particle in atomic mass units (1 amu = 1.66 × 10−27 kg). When a uranium atom initially at rest breaks up, the thorium atom is observed to recoil with an x component of velocity of -2.2 × 105 m/s. Please give the answer in Joules

A uranium-238 atom can break up into a thorium-234 atom and a particle called an alpha particle, α-4. The numbers indicate the inertias of the atoms and the alpha particle in atomic mass units (1 amu = 1.66 × 10^−27 kg). When an uranium atom initially at rest breaks up, the thorium atom is observed to recoil with an x component of velocity of -2.6 × 10^5 m/s. How much of the uranium atom's internal energy is released in the...

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
