QUESTION 4 An atomic nucleus suddenly bursts apart (fission) into two pieces. Piece A with mass ma travels to the left with a speed of VA- Piece B with mass mg travels to the right with speed vg. Show the velocity of piece B in terms of ma, mg and VA- Solution: Consider that the nucleus is not acted by an external force. Thus, momentum is conserved, so: PBr+ PAF=0 Substituting the expression for momentum results to mgv mAV = 0 Deriving the expression for the velocity of piece B results to =(ma/m NA

Electron capture is a variant on beta-radiation. The lightest nucleus to decay by electron capture is 7Be -- beryllium-7. The daughter nucleus is 7Li -- lithium-7. The electron is transformed into a massless particle (a neutrino): e − + 7 B e + ⟶ 7 L i + ν The initial electron is bound in the atom, so the beryllium mass includes the electron. In fact, since the electron starts bound in the atom, a more-accurate statement of the nuclear reaction is probably: 7 B e ⟶ 7 L i + ν The masses are beryllium: 7.016929 u, and lithium: 7.016003 u, and refer to the neutral atom as a whole. (Use uc and uc2 as your momentum and energy units -- but carry them along in your calculation.) The initial beryllium atom is stationary. Calculate the speed of the final lithium nucleus in km/s. (all the energy released goes into the lighter particle. c = 300,000 km/s)
