Question
A certain radioactive (parent) nucleus transforms to a different (daughter) nucleus by emitting an electron and a neutrino. The parent
was at rest at the origin of an xy coordinate system. The electron moves away from the origin with linear momentum (-1.3 × 10-22 kg
m/s) i; the neutrino moves away from the origin with linear momentum (-7.5 × 10-23 kg m/s) Ĵ. What are (a) the magnitude and (b)
angle (from the +x axis) of the linear momentum of the daughter nucleus? (c) If the daughter nucleus has a mass of 5.9 × 10-26 kg, what
is its kinetic energy?
