into an ?-particle (4He, helium nucleus) and a thorium nucleus (234Th). If 4He moves off at an angle of 2 902
20.2° above the ?-axis with a speed ??? = 1.4 × 107 m/s, you will determine what is the recoil velocity, ? , of 234Th and the angle below the ?-axis. Assume the uranium-thorium-alpha system is isolated with

not external forces acting on it and the masses of are A × 1.673 × 10−27 kg. Please note that in the
abbreviation, AX, X is the atomic abbreviation, Z the number of protons in the nucleus and A the total Z
number of nucleons (protons plus neutrons). This is a two-dimensional problem.
(a) Write an expression for the conservation of momentum in the ? direction in terms of the masses (?? ??h) the velocities (??,??h) and angles (??,??h) measured from the ?-axis.
(b) Repeat (a) for the ?-direction assuming up is positive.
(c) Write an expression for tan ??h in terms of the masses, velocities and ?? .
(d) Write an expression for ??h in terms of ??, ??h, ??, ?? and ??h.
(e) Evaluate ??h and ??h.

A 238U nucleus is moving in the x-direction at 4.3×105 m/s when it decays into an alpha particle (4He) and a 234Th nucleus. The alpha moves at 1.9×107 m/s at 24 ∘ above the x-axis. Part A Find the speed of the thorium nucleus. Part B Find the direction of the motion of the thorium nucleus.
Ball B, moving in the positive direction of an x axis at speed v, collides with stationary ball A at the origin. A and B have different masses. After the collision, B moves in the negative direction of the y axis at speed v/5. In what direction does A move, as an angle with respect to the x axis?
1. Ball B, moving in the positive direction of an x axis at speed v, collides with stationary ball A at the origin. Ball A and B have different masses. After the collision, B moves at an angle of +30° with respect to the x axis with half its initial speed. (a) In what direction does A move as an angle with respect to the x axis? (b) If the collision is elastic, what is the ratio of the masses...
