g A nucleus of mass M (given) at rest emits an alpha particle. The kinetic energy of the alpha particle is K1 (given). The mass of the alpha particle is given (m1) and the mass of the daughter nucleus is also given (m2). a) write the nuclear reaction equation; b) express the kinetic energy of the daughter nucleus in terms of the given quantities c) express the Q factor of this reaction in terms of the given quantities.

Following are the responses to the given question:

Explanation:

In point a:

Nucleus denoting, he refers to those same nuclei of the helium ( that is alpha particle)

In point b:

Let the kinetic energy of particle =

The velocity of particle

Let daughter core velocity be =

Preserving linear acceleration since there was no external factor we can write

Daughter nuclei energy can be written as:

In point c:

Initial weight = M

Total product weight

You can use the total release energy (Q-factor) as =

your answer is c! hope this : )

its a 5.5 n

glad that
