参考答案:
First of all, the neutron can get close to the nucleus at such slow speeds due to the fact that it is neutral and will not be electrically repelled by either the electron cloud or the protons in the nucleus. Then, once it hits a nucleus, it is held due to the strong nuclear force. It adds more energy than just kinetic energy to the nucleus due to E = m$c^2$. This extra amount of mass-energy leaves the nucleus in an excited state. To decay back to a lower energy state, the nucleus will fission.
