round all calculation to 4 signicant figures An unstable particle at rest spontaneously breaks into two fragments of unequal mass. The mass of the first fragment is 2.80 x 10 kg, and that of the other is 1.61 X 10" ko. If the lighter fragment has a speed of 0.854c after the breakup, what is the speed of the heavier fragment? (Assume the speeds are measured in a frame at rest with respect to the original particle.)
1. An unstable particle with mass 2.81 x 10-27 kg is initially at rest. The particle decays into two fragments that fly off along the x axis with velocity components u, 0.987c and u, --0.898c. From this information, we wish to determine the masses of fragments 1 and 2 (a) Is the initial system of the unstable particle, which becomes the system of the two fragments, isolated or nonisolated? [i.e. Are there external forces on the system?] (b) Based on...
Chapter 39, Problem 62. An unstable particle with mass m = 2.81 * 10 ^ -27 kg is initially at rest. The particle decays into two fragments that fly off along the x axis with velocity components u1 = 0.987c and u2 = -0.898c. From this information, we wish to determine the masses of fragments 1 and 2. (a) Is the initial system of the unstable particle, which becomes the system of the two fragments, isolated or nonisolated? [i.e. Are...
An unstable particle is at rest and suddenly decays into two fragments. No external forces act on the particle or its fragments. One of the fragments has a speed of 0.40c and a mass of 6.68 x 10-27 kg. while the other has a mass of 1.67 x 10-27 kg Part A What is the speed of the loss massive fragment?

An unstable particle is at rest and suddenly breaks up into two fragments. No external forces act on the particle or its fragments. One of the fragments has a velocity of +0.785c and a mass of 2.01 times 10^-27 kg, and the other has a mass of 4.70 times 10^-27 kg. What is the velocity of the more massive fragment (as a multiple of c)? Number Units
Use Conservation of Mass-Energy to determine how much kinetic energy is released when Radium-224 decays into Radon-220 and Helium-4 (an alpha particle). The relevant masses are mRa = 224.020186u, mRn = 220.011368u, and mHe = 4.002603u. Kinetic energy released: A Uranium-236 nucleus that is initially at rest has a mass of 2.9e-25 kg and is initially at rest. When it decays, it creates two fragments that fly off in opposite directions. Fragment #1 moves to the left at a velocity...
An unstable nucleus of mass 1.7 ✕ 10−26 kg, initially at rest at the origin of a coordinate system, disintegrates into three particles. One particle, having a mass of m1 = 1.0 ✕ 10−27 kg, moves in the positive y-direction with speed v1 = 5.0 ✕ 106 m/s. Another particle, of mass m2 = 8.0 ✕ 10−27 kg, moves in the positive x-direction with speed v2 = 3.8 ✕ 106 m/s. Find the magnitude and direction of the velocity of...
