At 238U nucleus decays by emitting an alpha particle of speed v m/s. The recoil speed of the residual nucleus is (in m/s)
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:
When a U238 nucleus originally at rest decays by emitting an alpha particle having a speed ‘u’, the recoil speed of the residual nucleus is
