For 2 MeV alpha, beta, and gamma emissions calculate the following quantities relativistically for each emission: T (Kinetic Energy), E (total energy), gamma (correction factor), p (momentum), m (mass), and v (frequency). Use nuclear units, i.e., keV or MeV for energies, keV/c or MeV/c for momenta, MeV/c2 for masses and express velocities in units of c.

For 2 MeV alpha, beta, and gamma emissions calculate the following quantities relativistically for each emission: T (Kinetic Energy), E (total energy), gamma (correction factor), p (momentum), m (mass), and v (frequency). Use “nuclear units,” i.e., keV or MeV for energies, keV/c or MeV/c for momenta, MeV/c2 for masses and express velocities in units of c.

4) A nucleus of radioactive radium (226Ra), initially at rest, decays into a radon nucleus (222Rn) and an alpha-particle (a 4He nucleus). If the kinetic energy of the alpha-particle is 6.72 × 10^ -13 J, what is (a) the recoil speed of the radon nucleus, and (b) its kinetic energy? The superscripts indicate, roughly, the mass of each nucleus in unified mass units (u), where 1 u = 1.66 × 10^ -27 kg.

Outside the nucleus, the neutron itself is radioactive and decays into a proton, an electron, and an antineutrino. The half-life of a neutron (mass = 1.675 × 10-27 kg) outside the nucleus is 10.4 min. On average, over what distance x would a beam of 5.55-eV neutrons travel before the number of neutrons decreased to 75.0% of its initial value? Ignore relativistic effects.
