A neutron of mass m moving with velocity v collides head-on and elastically with a stationary nucleus of mass M.
(a) Show that the velocity of the nucleus after the collision, U, is given by
U= 2m v (m+M)
(b) Hence show that the neutron loses a fraction f of its energy where
f= 4mM (m+M)
(c) A fast neutron enters a target of carbon nuclei which may be assumed to have masses 12 times that of the neutron. How many head-on collisions will it take
before the neutron loses 95% of its energy?
(d) Suggest one reason why in a real reactor a neutron is likely to make more
collisions with the moderator nuclei before losing this much energy

The first law of thermodynamics states that heat added to a system is neither created nor destroyed but is transformed β as it changes into other forms of energy.

Calculate the heat capacity per object when the total energy is 4 quanta. (think of this in terms of increasing from 3.5 quanta of energy in the system to 4.5 quanta of energy in the system, if that were possible.) c4 = __ j/k/object

Consider a u-tube whose arms are open to the atmosphere. now equal volumes of water and light oil (Ο = 49.3 lbm/ft3) are poured from different arms. a person blows from the oil side of the u-tube until the contact surface of the two fluids moves to the bottom of the u-tube, and therefore, the liquid levels in the two arms are the same. if the fluid height in each arm is 30 in, determine the gage pressure exerted by the person on the oil by blowing.
