The nucleus of the polonium isotope 214 Po (mass 214 u) is radioactive and decays by emitting an alpha particle (a helium nucleu

s with mass 4 u). Laboratory experiments measure the speed of the alpha particle to be 1.97×107 m/s.
Assuming the polonium nucleus was initially at rest, what is the recoil speed of the nucleus that remains after the decay?

Answer:

368224.29906 m/s

Explanation:

M = Mass of Polonium nucleus = 214 u

V = Velocity of nucleus

m = Mass of Helium nucleus = 4 u

v = Velocity of alpha particle = 1.97\times 10^7\ m/s

In this system the momentum is conserved

MV+mv=0\\\Rightarrow MV=-mv\\\Rightarrow 214V=-4\times 1.97\times 10^7\\\Rightarrow V=\dfrac{-4\times 1.97\times 10^7}{214}\\\Rightarrow V=368224.29906\ m/s

The recoil speed of the nucleus that remains after the decay is 368224.29906 m/s

Why are some atoms radioactive

Atoms<span> are made of three types of sub-atomic particle: neutrons and protons in the nucleus and electrons orbiting the nucleus. </span>Some<span> materials are </span>radioactive<span> because the nucleus of each </span>atom<span> is unstable and gives out nuclear radiation in the form of alpha particles, beta particles or gamma rays.</span>

How can we calculate force
lutik1710 [3]

To calculate force, use the formula force equals mass times acceleration, or F = m × a. Make sure that the mass measurement you're using is in kilograms and the acceleration is in meters over seconds squared. When you've solved the equation, the force will be measured in Newtons.

Why does a force perpendicular to an objects velocity change the direction of the velocity but not its magnitude
inna [77]

Answer:

According to your question although I think an object undergoing uniform circular motion is moving with a constant speed. Nevertheless, it is accelerating due to its change in direction. The direction of the acceleration is inwards,therefore a force perpendicular to an objects velocity change the direction of the velocity but not its magnitude.
