Answer:
a The velocity of the third particle is
b The total kinetic energy increase
Explanation:
To solve this question we are going to be using the concept of conservation of momentum which is mathematically represented as
From the question
Mass of unstable atomic nucleus
Mass of x-axis particle
Velocity of x-axis particle
Mass of y-axis particle
Velocity of y-axis particle
Since the initial mass is known we can obtain the mass of the third particle
Using the conservation of mass mathematical expression
Using the mathematical expression above for conservation of momentum
The above is the vector solution now to obtain the value in numeric form we evaluate the magnitude of the vector
To obtain the total increase in kinetic energy which is mathematically represented as
