The nucleus of an atom has a mass of 3.8x10^-25 kg and is at rest. The nucleus is radioactive and suddenly ejects a particle of mass 6.6x10^-27 kg at a speed of 1.5x10^7 m/s. Find the recoil speed of the nucleus that is left behind.

The law of conservation of the momentum says
"0=Mv-mu"
Hence, the recoil speed of the nucleus that is left behind
