$A$ neutron moving with velocity $u$ collides elastically with a stationary atom of mass number $A$. If the collision is head-on and the initial kinetic energy of the neutron is $E$, then the final kinetic energy of the neutron after the collision is:

  • A
    ${\left( {\frac{{A + 1}}{{A - 1}}} \right)^2}E$
  • B
    ${\left( {\frac{{A - 1}}{{A + 1}}} \right)^2}E$
  • C
    $\left( {\frac{{A - 1}}{{A + 1}}} \right)E$
  • D
    $\left( {\frac{{A + 1}}{{A - 1}}} \right)E$

$A$ particle of mass $m$ moving with a velocity $u$ makes an elastic one-dimensional collision with a stationary particle of mass $m$. They are in contact for a total time $T$. The contact force increases linearly from $0$ to $F_0$ in time $\frac{T}{4}$, remains constant for a further time $\frac{T}{2}$, and decreases linearly from $F_0$ to $0$ in the final time $\frac{T}{4}$, as shown in the graph. The magnitude of $F_0$ is:
