Part A Canadian nuclear reactors use heavy water moderators in which elastic collisions occur between the neutrons (mass 1.0 u) and deuterons of mass 2.0 u. What is the speed of a neutron, expressed as a fraction of its original speed, after a head-on, elastic collision with a deuteron which is initially at rest? Express your answer using three decimal places. 22 ΜΕ ΑΣΦ Submit Request Answer Part B ? What is its kinetic energy, expressed as a fraction of its original kinetic energy? Express your answer using three decimal places. 1 ΑΣΦ K₁ Submit Request Answer Part C How many such successive collisions will reduce the speed of a neutron to 1/243 of its original value? Express your answer as a number of collisions. ΜΕ ΑΣΦ t ?
