 A neutron moving with a speed v collides head on  with a stationary α-particle. The speed of the neutron after collision is
 

a
v/4
b
3 v /5
c
3 v /4
d
v/5

detailed solution

Correct option is B

Given mass of neutron = m m Mass of o-particle = 4 m Here, we have the velocity of neutron after collisionv1=m1−m2m1+m2v=m−4mm+4mu=−35v Negative sign indicates that the neutron will move in  opposite direction
