A neutron moving at a speed v undergoes a head-on elastic collision with a nucleus of mass number A at rest. The ratio of the kinetic energies of the neutron after and before collision is :

Assertion: The conservation of kinetic energy in elastic collision applies after the collision is over and does not hold at very instant of the collision. Reason: During a collision the total linear momentum is conserved at each instant of the collision.
