Collisions
Question

A neutron having mass of 1.67×1027kg and moving at 108m/s collides with a deutron at rest and sticks to it. If the mass of the deutron is 3.34×1027kg  then the speed of the combination is

Moderate
Solution

According to law of conservation of momentum.

Momentum of neutron = Momentum of combination

1.67×1027×108=(1.67×1027+3.34×1027)v

v=3.33×107m/s
