A uranium nucleus 238U may stay in one piece for billions of years, but sooner or later it decays into an α particle of mass 6.64 x 10^−27 kg and 234Th nucleus of mass 3.88 x 10^−25 kg, and the decay process itself is extremely fast (it takes about 10−20 s). Suppose the uranium nucleus was at rest just before the decay.
a) If the α particle is emitted at a speed of 5.24 x 10^6 m/s, what would be the recoil speed of the thorium nucleus?
Answer in units of m/s

One hazard of space travel is debris left by previous missions. there are several thousand masses large enough to detect by radar orbiting the earth, but there are far greater numbers of very small masses such as flakes of paint. calculate the force exerted by a 0.110 mg chip of paint that strikes a space shuttle window at a relative speed of 5.00 ✕ 103 m/s and sticks, given the collision lasts 6.00 ✕ 10-8 s. such a collision chipped the window of the ill-fated challenger in june 1983, causing $50,000 of damage.
