A nucleus AzX emits an α-particle with velocity v. The recoil speed of the daughter nucleus is:
A nucleus of mass number A, originally at rest, emits an α-particle with speed v. The daughter nucleus recoils with a speed
A 238U nucleus decays by emitting an alpha particle of speed ′v′ ms−1. The recoil speed of the residual nucleus (in ms−1 ) is:
