What is the speed of the unknown nucleus

Reference no: EM13651428

You are at the controls of a particle accelerator, sending a beamof 2.60 multiplied by107 m/s protons (mass m) at a gas target of anunknown element. Your detector tells you that some protons bouncestraight back after a collision with one of the nuclei of theunknown element. All such protons rebound with a speed of2.20 multiplied by107 m/s. Assume that the initial speed of the targetnucleus is negligible and that the collision is elastic.
