Does an electron move with the speed of light or not?
Nothing that has mass when it's stationary can move at the speed of light. Electrons can move at any lesser speed. In modern particle accelerators, they can be boosted to 0.99999c. But every additional ' 9 ' requires ten times as much energy as the previous one did.
Is there a limit to heat since heat is the speed that particles move at there has got to be a limit because of the speed of light?
Probably you mean temperature, rather than heat. And the temperature is more related to a particle's ENERGY than to its SPEED. I believe the degrees of freedom also have something to do with it - something like, average kinetic energy per particle and degree of freedom. Anyway, even though more speed means more energy, larger particles will move more slowly for the same kinetic energy - and therefore they will be slower at the same temperature. Also, while the speed is limited to the speed of light, there is practically no limit to the kinetic energy a particle can have.
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.
Does a solid have a particle speed?
it depends on how fast you pour a liquid eg: your puring a glass of water down the sink and you pure it drop drop by drop that is slow or your puring lots down at once. basicaly it depends on how fast you are puring
How do the particles in a solid move?
the particles in a solid are closely locked in position and can only vibrate
What are particle diagrams that show comparisons of the speed at which sound will move through materials?
what are particle that show comparasons of the speed at wich sound will move throught matirials ? what are particle that show comparasons of the speed at wich sound will move throught matirials ?
How photon differ from an inertial particle?
In a vacuum, a photon can ONLY move at the speed of light. A regular particle can ONLY move at speeds less than the speed of light.
Do the electrons move the speed of the light?
No, because the orbital is really just an abraction - the electron isn't racing around the orbital like a racecar, so there isn't a speed. The orbital is a better measure of the electrons potential energy.
How long it takes for a particle from the moon to hit earth?
Well, if it is a particle of light (a photon) it takes about a second and a half. If it is any other particle, one that does not move at the speed of light, then you have to define a speed for it.
Do particles move move half as fast if doubled the mass of the particle?
No, remember Newton's Law E=MV2. So a particle with the same energy with double the mass would move 1/4 the speed.
Is it really no objects can't move in the speed of light?
Yes it is..Therotically no object can move in the speed of light.But now scientists are trying to find the conditions for which a particle can move in the speed of light. No, anything massless can (and must!) move at c. No object carrying mass can ever move at c.
What is a tachyon?
A particle that can move as fast or faster than light, it just can't move slower than light. This particle has not been proven to exist.it does exist but not in this universe it also been called god speed
Which is faster the electric particle quantum or the speed of light?
The speed of light is the fastest any real particle can go (only massless particles like the photon can move at the speed of light, particles with nonzero mass must always move slower).However quantum mechanics allows virtual particles to move at any speed (even speeds much faster than the speed of light) but only if any such movement is undetectable (which is why they are called virtual).
How do particles of reactants at higher temperatures behave?
Particles move at a faster rate at higher temperatures, than they do at lower temperatures. This is do to the fact that heat is a form of energy. When a particle has more energy is moves faster.
