Help me An atomic nucleus suddenly bursts apart (fission) into two pieces. Piece A with mass mA travels to the left with a speed of vA. Piece B with mass mB travels to the right with speed vB. Show the velocity of piece B in terms of mA, mB and VA.

Solution:

Consider that the nucleus is not acted by an external force. Thus, momentum is conserved, so: pBf + pAf = 0

Substituting the expression for momentum results to

mBv (_) + (_) mAv (_) = 0

Deriving the expression for the velocity of piece B results to

v(_) =(mA/m _)vA
