Given velocities of atom A is moving east with a velocity of 30.0 µm/s and collides with atom B moving at 20.0µm/s. Calculate the velocity after collision of the atoms.
A bullet (mass m) with the velocity v hits centrally
an initially resting frictionless
supported board of mass M. It
penetrates the board and has
thereafter the velocity v ̅.
a) Determine the velocity of the
board after the penetrating shot.
b) How much energy is needed for

Find AK/K for each of the following acting as the stationary atom:
(b) hydrogen, (c) deuterium, (d) carbon, and (e) lead. (f) If
K = 1.00 MeV initially, how many such head-on collisions would it
take to reduce the neutron's kinetic energy to a thermal value

commonly used moderator? (In actual moderators, most collisions
are not head-on.)
