(II) Determine the fraction of kinetic energy lost by a neutron \(\left(m_{1}=1.01 u\right)\) when it collides head-on and elastically with a target particle at rest which is () \({ }_{1}^{1} H\) \((m=1.01\mathrm{\ u})\); (b) \({ }_{1}^{2} H\) (heavy hydrogen, \(m=2.01\mathrm{\ u}\)); (c) \({ }_{6}^{12} C\) \((m=12.00\ \mathrm u)\); (d) \({ }_{82}^{208} \mathrm{~Pb}\) (lead, \(m=208\ \mathrm u\)).
