Certain natural forms of potassium have nuclei that are


Certain natural forms of potassium have nuclei that are radioactive. Each radioactive potassium nucleus decays to a slightly less massive daughter nucleus and a high-speed electron called a beta particle. If after the decay the daughter nucleus is moving at speed 200 m/s with respect to the decaying material, how fast is the electron (the beta particle) moving? The mass of the daughter is about 70,000 times greater than the mass of the beta particle.
