Describe a situation in which a system has nonzero velocity while the net external force on it is zero.
A nucleus that captures a stray neutron must bring the neutron to a stop within the diameter of the nucleus by means of the strong
force. That force, which "glues" the nucleus together, is approximately zero outside the nucleus. Suppose that a stray neutron with an
initial speed of 1.1 × 10' m/s is just barely captured by a nucleus with diameter d = 1.5 × 1014 m. Assuming that the strong force on the
neutron is constant, find the magnitude of that force. The neutron's mass is 1.67 x 1027 kg.

A nucleus that captures a stray neutron must bring the neutron to a stop within the diameter of the nucleus by means of the strong
force. That force, which "glues" the nucleus together, is approximately zero outside the nucleus. Suppose that a stray neutron with an
initial speed of 1.9 × 107 m/s is just barely captured by a nucleus with diameter d = 1.3 × 10-¹4 m. Assuming that the strong force on the
neutron is constant, find the magnitude of that force. The neutron's mass is 1.67 × 10-27 kg.
