Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units. kg) decays by emitting an alpha particle (mass 664 × 10-zrkg) Value Units Submit My Answers Give Up Continue

Explanation / Answer

Conserving momentum

Let the recoil speed is v m/s

3.77*10(-25)*v=6.64*10(-27)*2.4*10(6)

We got v=4.23*10(4) m/s
