Experts estimate that if a ring particle survived the age of the solar system it would undergo 49 collisions.


Does a pendulum undergo simple harmonic motion?

A simple pendulum undergoes simple harmonic motion only for small amplitudes because for small amplitudes the motion almost reduces to a straight line motion. Simple harmonic motion means motion on a straight not on curves


Why electromagnetic wave not undergo superposition to produce inteference patterns?

I think you may find because of wave particle duality. Light is a wave and a particle and you cant cancel out particles.

Does an alpha particle undergo electromagnetic radiation?

Yes alpha particle goes under goes electromagnetic radiations. when an atom is exposed to the magnetic field the alpha particle deviates right through right direction which indicates does have capacity to excite and emits radiations to come to ground level.

What does the world's largest particle accelerator hope to accomplish?

The world's largest particle accelerator is used to accelerate particles to extremely high energies at which they can undergo collisions which, it is hoped, will produce previously unseen kinds of results which will shed light on currently mysterious or unanswered questions about particle physics, thereby increasing human knowledge and our understanding of the way the universe works on a very deep, fundamental level.


What happens to kinetic energy during gas particle collisions?

Gas particle collisions are generally modeled to be perfectly elastic (i.e., there is no change in the kinetic energy before and after the collision). This is very close to reality, since the gas particles have little internal structure which can undergo permanent deformation.


What does subject yourself mean?

To subject yourself means to place yourself in a situation where you are exposed to a particular experience or undergo a certain process. It involves willingly participating or submitting to a condition, requirement, or influence.


What does an isotope release as a beta particle?

Usually when isotopes undergo beta decay they emit an electron, but some isotopes emit a positron instead. This depends on the relative number of neutrons to protons in the isotope which type of beta particle is emitted. An excess of neutrons leads to the emission of an electron, while an excess of protons leads to the emission of a positron.
