The carbon isotope C-14 is used for carbon dating. C-14 (mass 2.34 x 10-26 kg) decays by beta-decay, in which the nucleus emits an electron (the beta particle) and a subatomic particle called a neutrino. In one such decay, the electron and neutrino are emitted at right angles to each other. The electron (mass 9.11 x 10-31 kg) has a speed of 5.0 x 107 m/s and the neutrino has a momentum of 8.0 x 10-24 kg m/s. What is the recoil speed of the daughter nucleus?

Explanation:

We shall apply the law of conservation of momentum to calculate the momentum and the speed of daughter nucleus .

Since the velocity of electron is very high we shall apply relativistic formula to calculate its momentum .

=

45.55 x 10⁻²⁴ x 1.176

= 53.58 x 10⁻²⁴ .

momentum of neutrino = 8 x 10⁻²⁴ . They are perpendicular to each other so total momentum

= √ [( 53.58 x 10⁻²⁴ )²+(8 x 10⁻²⁴)²]

= 54.17 x 10⁻²⁴

Hence the momentum of recoiled daughter nucleus will be same but in opposite direction

velocity of recoil = momentum / mass

= 54.17 x 10⁻²⁴ / 2.34 x 10⁻²⁶

= 23.15 x 10² m /s

you cant move and you feel like someones pushing you down onto your bed it can feel like you want to get up but you just can't it can be extremely scary

hello, i am papaguy.

i have found an answer to your question but use it as information.

information: because weak acids/bases have low concentration of hydrogen ions, the addition of water has a large impact on the ph. 2. a difference in 1 unit is a 10x difference in concentration for example; a liquid with ph of 3 is 10x more acidic than a liquid with a ph of 4. therefore, a liquid with a ph of 3 is stronger.

best of luck!
