For the given wavelength momentum of the neutron will be p given by

\\p=\frac{h}{\lambda }\\ p=\frac{6.62\times 10^{-34}}{1.4\times 10^{-10}}\\ p=4.728\times 10^{-24}kg\ m\ s^{-1}

The kinetic energy K would therefore be

\\K=\frac{p^{2}}{2m}\\ K=\frac{(4.728\times 10^{-24})^{2}}{2\times 1.675\times 10^{-27}}\\ K=6.67\times 10^{-21}J
