Question:

Thorium 23090decays to radium 22688Ra by a emission. The masses of the neutral atoms are 230.033127 u for 23090Th and 226.025403 u for 22688Ra. H the parent thorium nucleus is at rest, what is the kinetic energy of the emitted a particle? (Be sure to account for the recoil of the daughter nucleus.)
