Particle is moving with the speed of light then why Newton's laws are not applicable?

The breakdown of Newton's laws is not your biggest problem with that
situation. The main problem is the fact that the system which you have
postulated is impossible. No particle to which Newton's laws might be
expected to apply at all ... i.e. particles with mass ... can move with
the speed of light.

A gamma ray is a very high speed particle with no charge?
Sort of. A gamma ray is a photon, which is a particle/wave moving at the speed of light, because it is light.Photons are the gauge particles for the electromagnetic force, but they don't carry an electric charge themselves.
Discovery of particle theory of light?
Pierre Gassendi (1592-1655), an atomist, proposed a particle theory of light.
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.
Does light behave as a wave or a particle in chemistry?
Light doesn't really feature in chemistry but on the rare occasions it does it is as a wave and a form of energy, not a particle.
What are three things that a magnetic field may do to moving charged particles?
Accelerate the particle but not beyond C, the speed of light Decelerate the particle Divert the particle's path.
Does a light wave act like a moving particle?
yes and possibly no im not sure hope this helped
What is fastest moving object?
Photonneutrinoelectrona theortical particle called a tachyon, moves faster than light.
Is visible light a type of sound?
no, sound and light are very different Sound is a vibration in air, light is a particle called a photon moving through the air
What is meant by tachyons?
A tachyon is a hypothetical subatomic particle that moves faster than light and is incapable of moving slower than the speed of light.
When is relativity applicable?
Special relativity is always applicable, but only really useful when you are considering objects moving close to the speed of light. General relativity should be used when objects are very heavy or dense.
How do you detect if light is a particle or a wave?
Light is both a wave and a particle depending on circumstances; this is referred to as the wave-particle duality of light.
What will be the total energy of a particle of rest mass m and momentum p moving at velocity close to light?
something very sciencey
Is light a particle?
Yes. Light has both particle and wave properties.
A gamma ray is a very high speed particle with no charge?
Sort of. A gamma ray is a photon, which is a particle/wave moving at the speed of light, because it is light.Photons are the gauge particles for the electromagnetic force, but they don't carry an electric charge themselves.
Which light is used in newtons rings?
sodium light
How can you prove that light is a particle?
The photoelectric effect was pretty definitive evidence that light is a particle (well, at least sometimes a particle).
