When faster moving and slower moving particles collide which particles gain energy?
It depends upon the mass of the particles also. Assuming equal mass, then the slower moving particle gains some energy, and the faster moving particle loses energy. However, if the slower moving particle had greater mass, it could transfer energy to the faster moving particle.
A particle is moving along the x-axis. The line graph shows the velocity of the particle over time. When is the instantaneous acceleration of the particle equal to 0?
5. A particle is moving along the x-axis. The line graph shows the velocity of the particle over time. When is the instantaneous acceleration of the particle equal to 0?
What is an alfa particle?
An alpha particle is also considered a ray. It is a fast moving particle containing two protons and two neutrons.
Why is vacuum the best insulator?
In order for heat to be conducted, there have to be collisions between atoms or molecules, in which energy is transferred from a faster moving particle to a slower moving particle. In a vacuum there are no particles, hence, no particle collisions and no heat conduction.
Does an alpha particle would be affected by magnetic field?
Sure, like any moving and charged particle.

What happens when an air particle pushes against another air particle?
The air particle with the greater force moves the other air particle in the general direction it was moving

In a nuclear fission reaction a freely moving neutron?
In a nuclear fission reaction, a freely moving neutron undergoes neutron capture and initiates the nuclear fission of a fuel atom.
What is the difference between a wave and a particle?
A wave is a a moving oscillation that transfers energy through a medium. A particle is an object.
Why is nuclear energy potential?
Nuclear energy is potential energy because it is not moving.
What subatomic particle is responsible for moving electrical current?
electrons
Why the particle is not moving toward negative x-direction?
Why the partical is not moving toward negative x-direction?
How will a lighter gas particle have the same kinetic energy as a heavier particle?
It can be hotter (and so be moving faster) F=ma
