5.17 A nucleus is at rest in the laboratory frame of reference. Show that if it disintegrates into two smaller nuclei the products must move in opposite directions.
5.17 A nucleus is at rest in the laboratory frame of reference. Show that if it disintegrates into two smaller nuclei the products must move in opposite directions.
Let m1 & m2 be the masses of two nuclei and m be the mass of the main nuclei.
m = m1 + m2
If and be the corresponding velocities of two nuclei then total linear momentum after disintegration = m1 + m2
Since at the initial stage, mass nuclei was at rest, so the initial linear momentum = 0
