$A$ radioactive nucleus emits an $\alpha$-particle to become a stable nucleus. If the velocity of the $\alpha$-particle is $\upsilon$ and the mass number of the original radioactive nucleus is $A$,what will be the velocity of the daughter nucleus?

  • A
    $\frac{4\upsilon}{A - 4}$
  • B
    $\frac{2\upsilon}{A - 4}$
  • C
    $\frac{4\upsilon}{A + 4}$
  • D
    $\frac{2\upsilon}{A + 4}$
