NEET Physics Centre of Mass MCQ Question
In a one-dimensional elastic collision, a neutron with mass m_1 collides with a stationary deuterium nucleus of mass m_2 = 2m_1. What fraction of the neutron's initial kinetic energy is transferred to the deuterium nucleus?
8/9
1/9
2/3
1/3
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
In an elastic collision between a neutron and a deuterium nucleus where m_2 = 2m_1, 90% of the neutron's energy is transferred to the deuterium as per the given NCERT context.
