Problem P. 4022. (November 2007)

P. 4022. Protons of kinetic energy 5.00 MeV are scattered totally elastically on the nuclei of an unknown element of negligible speed. The protons are deflected by 90o and their kinetic energy is 4.23 MeV.

a) What is the mass of the nuclei and what kind of chemical element's nuclei are they?

b) What is the direction of the motion of these nuclei with respect to the direction of the motion of the incident protons?
