The nucleus of 21 PO decays radioactively by emitting an alpha particle (mass 6.65 X 10-27 kg) with kinetic energy 1.23 X 10-12 J, as measured in the laboratory reference frame.
Assuming that the Po was initially at rest in this frame, find the recoil velocity of 1he nucleus 1hat remains after the decay. |
