A neutron having kinetic energy 12.5 eV collides with a hydrogen atom at rest. Nelgect the difference in mass between the neutron and the hydrogen

True In an inelastic collision, the final kinetic energy is always less than the initial kinetic energy of the system. This is because in such collisions, there is always a loss...

(b) increases

(a) must be elastic

(b) may be partially elastic

(c) neutron has larger rest mass than the proton

(a) the initial kinetic energy is equal to the final kinetic energy  Explanation:  The initial kinetic energy before the collision and the final kinetic energy after the collision will remain the same....

(b) the final kinetic energy is less than the initial kinetic energy  Explanation:  If the collision is perfectly inelastic the deformation of the bodies during the collision is permanent and the part of...

(b) both the bodies move after collision (c) the moving body comes to rest and the stationary body starts moving Explanation:  Since one of the bodies has some velocity before collision hence total...

KE = 3/2 KT = 1.5 KT, K = 8.62 x 10–5 eV/k, Binding Energy = –13.6 (1/∞ – 1/1) = 13.6 eV. According to the question, 1.5 KT = 13.6 => 1.5x...

K = 8.62 x10–5 eV/k K.E. of H2 molecules = 3/2 KT Energy released, when atom goes from ground state to no = 3 =>13.6 (1/1 – 1/9) => 3/2 KT = 13.6(1/1...
