Outside the nucleus, the neutron itself is radioactive and decays into a proton, an electron, and an antineutrino. The half-life of a neutron (mass = 1.675 × 10-27 kg) outside the nucleus is 10.4 min. On average, over what distance x would a beam of 8.32-eV neutrons travel before the number of neutrons decreased to 75.0% of its initial value? Ignore relativistic effects.

An electron, a neutron(which has zero charge) and a proton are in an electric field generated by charged plates which points in the +x direction. The three particles are sufficiently far apart that their forces on each other are negligible. Assume also that forces other than the electrostatic ones on the three particles are negligible. We know that: (Choose the correct answers) the acceleration of the electron is in the +x direction. the x coordinate of the electron is less...

Carbon-14 is unstable and decays to a differentnucleus(known as the daughter nucleusof the decay) along with an electron and an antineutrino (a particle with zero charge and virtually zero mass). The energy released in this decay (known as the Q-value) is found to be Q = 0.156476 MeV. Find the atomic number, the mass number, and the chemical symbol for the daughter nucleus of this decay. What is the mass of the daughter nucleus (in u)? [Hint: First find the...
