Physics Question on Nuclei
A nucleus disintegrates into two smaller parts, which have their velocities in the ratio 3:2 The ratio of their nuclear sizes will be (3x)31 The value of ' x ' is:-
Answer
The correct answer is 2.
m1v1=m2v2⇒m2m1=32
Since, Nuclear mass density is constant
34πr13m1=34πr23m2
(r2r1)3=m2m1
r2r1=(32)31
So, x=2
