Multiple Choice
A neutron with a mass of 1.67 × 10-27 kg traveling east with a kinetic energy of 2.00 × 10-21 J collides perfectly elastically with a helium nucleus with a mass 6.68 × 10-27 kg that is initially at rest. After the collision, the neutron has a kinetic energy 1.80 × 10-21 J. What angle was the neutron deflected during the collision?
A) 142°
B) 117°
C) 38.0°
D) 180°
E) 32.8°
