Answer: A certain radioactive (parent) nucleus transforms

Chapter , Problem 90

(choose chapter or problem)

A certain radioactive (parent) nucleus transforms to a different (daughter) nucleus by emitting an electron and a neutrino. The parent nucleus was at rest at the origin of an xy coordinate system. The electron moves away from the origin with linear momentum (-1.2 X 10-22 kg mfs )1; the neutrino moves away from the origin with linear momentum (-6.4 X 10-23 kg m/s)]. What are the (a) magnitude and (b) direction of the linear momentum of the daughter nucleus? (c) If the daughter nucleus has a mass of 5.8 X 10-26 kg, what is its kinetic energy?
