Finding the kinetic energy of an Alpha Particle
Can anyone help with this problem? I think the solution may be simpler than I'm trying to make it. Colin measured the speed of an alpha particle that was emitted from a U-238 nucleus to be 2.20x10^8 m/sec. Calculate the kinetic energy of the alpha. Is all you need the equation KE = 1/2...- pdinemcm
