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.
