well i don't know the answer myself but judging from mark scheme mass is conserved as nothing is lost and i am assuming nitrogen particle is stationary so alpa particle must be moving to bombard it :p

sis my qn is how did they get the MeV as 1.6x10^-13????

thank you :)

energy conserved means the total energy at the beginning is the same as total energy at the end no matter in what forms energy is present. so, the particle must have some sort of energy that it possesses for there to be conservation. :) hope you get it.

ohh didn't see that lulz

anyways looking at the data sheet above e is elementary charge in MeV and M is mega and V is voltage (e and V will cancel [homogeniouty] to give kgm^2s^-2 which is energy)
so 1.1MeV is actually 1.1 * 10^6 * 1.6*10^-19= 1.76*10^-13

0.5*4*1.67*10^-27 * v^2= 1.76*10^-13

hope it helped

half da smalest division by reading multiplied by hundred
look at pg 49 of uncertainites in the file, the uncertainty for a ruler is quoted as plus mins 1mm, isnt 1mm the smalles division?? so shouldn't the uncerainty be plus minus .5 ??
