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?

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

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 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
