Calculate the kinetic energy of a neutron whose momentum is 200 MeV/c
Answer
The kinetic energy is given by
K=P22mn=(200MeV/c)22×1.67×10−27=(40000×1.6×10−13)2×1.67×10−27K=\frac{P^2}{2m_n}\\=\frac{(200MeV/c)^2}{2\times1.67\times10^{-27}}\\=\frac{(40000\times1.6\times10^{-13})}{2\times1.67\times10^{-27}}K=2mnP2=2×1.67×10−27(200MeV/c)2=2×1.67×10−27(40000×1.6×10−13)
=1.92×1018J=1.92\times10^{18}J=1.92×1018J
