Suppose that a fission neutron, emitted with an energy of 2 mev, slows down to an
energy of 1 ev as the result of successive collisions in a moderator. if, on the average,
the neutron gains in lethargy the amount \xi in each collision, how many collisions are
required if the moderator is
(a) hydrogen,
(b) graphite?
hint: you need to calculate the change in lethargy from 2 mev to 1 ev. then, calculate (or look up in a table) the average change in lethargy per collision to obtain the total number of collisions

Two 1.20-m nonconducting wires meet at a right angle. one segment carries + 2.50 µc of charge distributed uniformly along its length, and the other carries - 2.50 µc distributed uniformly along it, as shown in fig. 21.50. ( a. find the magnitude and direction of the electric field these wires produce at point p, which is 60.0 cm from each wire. ( b. if an electron is released at p, what are the magnitude and direction of the net force that these wires exert on it?
