Given information

Given:

The mass of the neutron      

The mass of target particle       

initial velocity of target particle=   (at rest)

 

Step-by-step explanation

Step 1.

This is the case of elastic collision hence momentum will be conserved and can be depicted as  

 

Where, and are masses of neutron and target particle respectively, and are their velocities before collision while are their velocities after collision.
