Is a particle accelerator used to provide charged particles with sufficient kinetic energy to penetrate a nucleus?
yes it is a particle accelerator ;D
What machine is used to make subatomic particles move faster?
a particle accelerator
What particle can not be accerlated by the electric or magnetic field in a particle accelerator?
The ones that have more mass than the accelerator can move.
Where can someone find CERN particle accelerator?
CERN is the largest particle physics research laboratory in the world. People can arrange a visit to CERN. The particle accelerator is included in the itinerary.
What is the nickname for a particle accelerator?
Atom Smasher

What machine is used to make subatomic particles move faster?
a particle accelerator
Does a particle accelerator used to accelerate particles at high speeds until the particles fuse together and create a new element?
A particle accelerator used to accelerate particles at high speeds will not fuse together and create a new element. The particle accelerator uses electromagnetic fields to move charged particles and contain them in well defined beams.
What particle can not be accerlated by the electric or magnetic field in a particle accelerator?
The ones that have more mass than the accelerator can move.
What was the first synthetic element to be made by a particle accelerator?
The first synthetic element to be made by a particle accelerator was technetium
What does a particle accelerator do to atoms?
Nothing unless the atoms form a target. A PARTICLE accelerator accelerates PARTICLES not atoms.
What branch of physics uses particle accelerator?
Particle Physics
What is the name of machine used for making subatomic particles move faster?
Particle accelerator
What is the name for a particle accelerator?
Cyclotron
Does a particle need to have an electrical charge to be used in a particle accelerator?
Yes, a particle used in a particle accelerator must have a charge to be useful in the device. Particle accelerators we use in high energy physics to investigate things all work by applying a moving or shifting magnetic field to accelerate charged particles. We speed these particles up by repeatedly "hitting" them with a magnetic field. Uncharged particles will not respond to this, and canot be used in the devices.
Where can someone find CERN particle accelerator?
CERN is the largest particle physics research laboratory in the world. People can arrange a visit to CERN. The particle accelerator is included in the itinerary.
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.
