A 10.2 MeV Li nucleus is shot directly at the center of a Ds nucleus. At what center-to-center distance does the Li momentarily stop, assuming the Ds does not move?
When a nucleus decays, the daughter nucleus can be in an excited state. The 93/43Tc nucleus (molar mass 92.910 2 g/mol) in the ground state decays by electron capture and e+ emission to energy levels of the daughter (molar mass 92.906 8 g/mol in the ground state) at 2.44 MeV, 2.03 MeV, 1.48 MeV, and 1.35 MeV. (a) Identify the daughter nuclide. (b) To which of the listed levels of the daughter are electron capture and e+ decay of 93/43Tc allowed?
When an alpha particle collides elastically with a nucleus, the nucleus recoils. Suppose a 5.00 MeV alpha particle has a headon elastic collision with a gold nucleus that is initially at rest.What is the kinetic energy of (a) the recoiling nucleus and (b) the rebounding alpha particle?
