A radioactive sample decays by emitting 
-particles. The energy released in the decay process is the same for each nucleus that decays, but the -particles emitted have a continuous range of kinetic energies. Which statement explains why -particles are emitted with a continuous range of kinetic energies?
Some of the energy released is given to the remaining nucleons in the nucleus.
Some of the energy released is taken by an emitted antineutrino.
Some of the energy released is used to create the -particles.
Some of the energy released is used to create a new nucleon
