  • question_answer
    An unstable heavy nucleus at rest breaks into two nuclei which move away with velocities in the ratio of\[8:27\]. The ratio of the radii of the nuclei (assumed to be spherical ) is: [JEE Online 15-04-2018 (II)]

    A) \[8:27\]

    B) \[2:3\]

    C) \[3:2\]

    D) \[4:9\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    [c] \[\frac{{{V}_{1}}}{{{V}_{2}}}=\frac{8}{27}\]
    \[{{m}_{1}}{{V}_{1}}={{m}_{2}}{{V}_{2}}\]
    \[\frac{{{m}_{1}}}{{{m}_{2}}}=\frac{{{V}_{2}}}{{{V}_{1}}}=\frac{27}{8}\]
    \[\frac{\rho \times \frac{4}{3}\pi R_{1}^{3}}{\rho \times \frac{4}{3}\pi R_{2}^{3}}\]
    \[\left( \frac{{{R}_{1}}}{{{R}_{2}}} \right)={{\left( \frac{27}{8} \right)}^{\frac{1}{3}}}\]
    \[={{\left( \frac{3}{2} \right)}^{3\times \frac{1}{3}}}\]
    \[\frac{{{R}_{1}}}{{{R}_{2}}}=\frac{3}{2}\]
