Review Conceptual Example 5 as background for this problem. The a decay of uranium 238 92 U produces thorium 234 90 Th (atomic mass 5 234.0436 u). In Example 4, the energy released in this decay is determined to be 4.3 MeV. Determine how much of this energy is carried away by the recoiling 234 90 Th daughter nucleus and how much by the a particle (atomic mass 5 4.002 603 u). Assume that the energy of each particle is kinetic energy, and ignore the small amount of energy carried away by the g ray that is also emitted. In addition, ignore relativistic eff ects.
