A 57Fe nucleus at rest emits a 14.0-keV photon. Use conservation of energy and momentum to find the kinetic energy of the recoiling nucleus in electron volts. Use Mc2 = 8.60 × 10-9 J for the final state of the 57Fe nucleus.
The figure provided shows the potential energy of a proton, q = +e, and a lead nucleus, q = +82e. If a proton is fired toward a lead nucleus from very far away with kinetic energy K = 3.00×10-12 J, how much kinetic energy does it have when it is 20.0 fm from the nucleus and moving toward it, before the collision?
5.00×10-12 J 4.00×10-12 J 3.00×10-12 J 2.00×10-12 J
