An atomic nucleus initially at rest in a reactor core collides with another nuclear particle whose initial velocity is 10,000 m/s. After just one collision, the nuclear particle comes to a complete stop, and the atomic nucleus heads off in the same direction with the same average velocity. What can we conclude about the mass of the atomic nucleus in this case? If the incoming particle is an alpha particle, what element did the alpha particle collide with?
