Given information

mass of atomic nucleus=      

velocity of the nucleus=      

mass of target particle=      

initial velocity of target particle= (at rest)    

Angle at which target particle is scattered=    

The collision is elastic. 

 

 

Step-by-step explanation

Step 1.

From part (a) we obtained,

where = initial velocity of nucleus along x axis

and final velocity of target particle along x axis 

putting , we get
