    What is the increase in kinetic energy during an atomic nucleus disintegration?

    Problem: An unstable atomic nucleus of mass 1.60 10-26 kg initially at rest disintegrates into three particles. One of the particles, of mass 5.08 10-27 kg, moves along the y-axis with a speed of 6.00 106 m/s. Another particle, of mass 8.50 10-27 kg, moves along the x-axis with a speed of...
