Can the speed of the particle ever be negative if so give an example if not explain why?

speed cannot as it is just a magnitude, however as velocity relates both magnitude and direction, and direction can be negative, technically you can have a negative velocity.

Can the speed of the particle ever be negative if so give an example if not explian why?
see speed cannot de negative se speed = distance / time and neithr distance nor time can be negative they r always positive so speed cannot be negative but velocity can be negative
Average velocity of a particle is zero but not its average speed .. is it possible?
Yes - for example, if an object moves in a circle.
What can be said about the speed of a particle if the net work done on it is zero?
In that case, basically no force acts on the particle, and the particle moves at a constant speed. This constant speed may, or may not, be zero.
Who created tachyon?
Tachyon, meaning swift particle, was the name given by Dr. Feinberg at M.I.T. to a theoretical particle which travels faster than the speed of light. According to modern physics, no particle can go faster than the speed of light. To entertain the notion of a faster-than-light particle, one must step into a theoretical world where time travels backward and objects have negative mass.
If you add heat energy to a substance what happens to the speed of the particle motion?
The particle speed increases.The energy increases; the speed increases.

A high-speed electron ejected from a nucleus durng radioactive decay is called a?
an alpha particle
What is a negative electron emitted from the nucleus of an atom at high speed?
beta particle

Yes - for example, if an object moves in a circle.
What is negative speed in science?
Speed in science means vector (direction and velocity). Any force which lessens the vector can be considered negative speed. A spacecraft's retro rockets are a good example.
What is the most fast particle in the world?
Light is currently considered to be the fastest known particle(s) in existence. There are theoretical particles that can function well past the speed of light. One example of such theoretical particle is the Tachyon.
Is it possible to get more speed then light to the particle with accelerator?
No. The more energy the accelerator can give the particle, the closer the particle can approach to the speed of light, but it can never reach exactly that speed.

What happens hen you heat a particle up so fast it travels at the speed of light?
No particle can reach the speed of light. Mass increases with speed, and the particle would become infinitely massive as it came closer to the speed of light.
Which are the non relativistic particles?
A non-relativistic particle is any particle not traveling at a speed close to the speed of light. This is not a property of particular type of particle; any particle may in general travel at any speed (below the speed of light). An exception are particles which are massless such as photons and gluons, these MUST travel at the speed of light.
