A thermal neutron has a relatively small amount of kinetic
Chapter 32, Problem 32.10(choose chapter or problem)
A thermal neutron has a relatively small amount of kinetic energy but, nevertheless, can penetrate a nucleus. To penetrate the same nucleus, would a proton or an particle need (a) the same small amount of kinetic energy as the neutron needs, (b) a much larger amount of kinetic energy than the neutron needs, or (c) much less kinetic energy than the neutron needs?
