Physics

A neutron in a nuclear reactor makes an elastic, head-oncollision with the nucleus of a carbon atom initially at rest. (a)What fraction of the neutron's kinetic energy is transferred to thecarbon nucleus? (The mass of the carbon nucleus is about 12.0 timesthe mass of the neutron.) (b) The initial kinetic energy of theneutron is 1.30 10-13 J. Find its final kinetic energy and thekinetic energy of the carbon nucleus after the collision. neutron Jcarbon nucleus J
