Problem

When a stationary nucleus decays, it emits an electron with kinetic energy E = 1.73 MeV and a neutrino with energy E = 1 MeV perpendicular to e v the direction of electron motion. The rest mass of neutrinos is zero. What is the kinetic energy of the nucleus if the remaining mass of the nucleus is M = 3.9⋅\cdot10−22 g?
