A nucleus, initially at rest, decays radioactively, leaving a residual nucleus. In the process, it emits two particles horizontally: an electron with momentum 9.0 x 10^-21 kg/s [E] and a neutrino with momentum 4.8 x 10^-21 kg/s [S]. If the mass of the residual nucleus is 3.6 x 10^-25 kg, what is its recoil velocity?
