Mass∝Mass number or mass=xA,where A is mass number
Thorium, m 
t
​ 
 =234x and mass of alpha particle, m 
a
​ 
 =4x
Velocity of alpha particle is v 
a
​ 
 =1.4×10 
7
 m/s and that of thorium is v 
t

Applying momentum conservation, m

 =0(rest)
so v

 , after putting values of masses we get 
v 
t

2v 
a

​ 
 =−2.4×10 
5
 m/s
Magnitude of velocity of residue nucleus i.e. Thorium nuclei is found to be 2.4×10 
5
 m/s.
