What does the equation n =pout/pin mean?

Asample of a gaseous substance changes into a liquid

Determine the fraction of the magnitude of kinetic energy lost by a neutron (m1 = 1.01 u) when it collides head-on and elastically with a target particle at rest which is 21h (heavy hydrogen, m = 2.01 u).

An astronaut in space cannot use a scale or balance to weigh objects because there is no gravity. but she does have devices to measure distance and time accurately. she knows her own mass is 77.4 kg , but she is unsure of the mass of a large gas canister in the airless rocket. when this canister is approaching her at 3.50 m/s , she pushes against it, which slows it down to 1.30 m/s (but does not reverse it) and gives her a speed of 2.60 m/s . what is the mass of the canister?
