A Carbon-14 nucleus is initially at rest but emits two particles of radiation; one with momentum 5.8x1021kgm/s[E], and another with momentum 4.5x10 21kgm/s[S]. If the residual Carbon-14 mass is 2.3x10 26kg; a. Determine the residual Carbon 14 momentum magnitude b. Determine the residual Carbon 14 momentum direction c. determine the residual Carbon 14 velocity.
In solid helium the spacing between atoms is about 3Å . Helium contains 2 protons and 2 neutrons, so the mass of a helium atom is 6.6×10−27 kg. What is the smallest possible energy of a helium atom in solid helium? What temperature (in Kelvin) does this energy correspond with? (Boltzmann's constant is kb=1.38×10−23 J/K
The least massive particle known to exist is the electron neutrino. Though scientists once believed that it had no mass, like the photon, they have now determined that this particle has an extremely low mass, equivalent to a few electron volts.  Assuming a mass of 2.2 eV/c2 (or 3.9 × 10-36 kg) and a speed of 4.4 × 106 m/s, which of the following values equals the neutrino’s de Broglie wavelength?  a. 3.8 × 10-5 m  b. 4.7 × 10-7m  c. 1.7 × 10-10m  d. 8.9 × 10-14m
