Question:

Polonium 21084Po (atomic mass = 209.982 848 u) undergoes a decay. Assuming that all the released energy is in the form of kinetic energy of the a particle (atomic mass = 4.002 603 u) and ignoring the recoil of the daughter nucleus (lead 20682Pb, 205.974 440 u), find the speed of the a particle. Ignore relativistic effects.
