(a) Assume that a neutron traveling at 3.00(103) km/s strikes the nucleus of a motionless 11Na23 atom in a reactor core. The collision causes the neutron to recoil elastically, and it travels backward along exactly the same path it traveled as it approached the atom. Calculate the velocity of the neutron after the collision. (b) Perform the same calculation for a 3.00(103) km/s neutron striking a 3Li7 atom nucleus. Based on your answers from these two calculations, which metal would perform better for use as coolant in a LMFBR where high neutron velocity is preferred

Afisherman notices that his boat is moving up and down periodically without any horizontal motion, owing to waves on the surface of the water. it takes a time of 2.20 s for the boat to travel from its highest point to its lowest, a total distance of 0.670 m . the fisherman sees that the wave crests are spaced a horizontal distance of 5.80 m apart. (a) how much is the wavelength? (b) find the period of the wave. (c) how fast are the waves traveling? (d) what is the amplitude a of each wave?
