It is the particle accelerator that we use to accelerate protons in the physics lab. (Accelerators can accelerate other things, too.) There are a number of different accelerators, and they include the cyclotron, the synchrotron, the tevatron, and the new LHC (Large Hadron Collider) to name a few. Use the link below to begin investigating these and other similar machines.

Identify the subatomic particle used to define an element and explain why this particle is used.?
no i cant answer it
What number is used to determine how many electrons are in a neutral atom?
The atomic number (the number of protons in the atom). Neutral charge = 0 = (number of protons - number of neutrons). Therefore, number of protons = number of neutrons
What happens to an atom if then number of protons change?
The number of protons determines the type of element that the atom is.One proton = hydrogentwo protons = helium.three protons = lithum.six protons = carbon.seven protons = nitrogen.eight protons = oxygen.etc.If you change the number of protons then you change the element
What is the term used to collectively describe protons and neutrons?
Type your answer here... conected or together
How many protons and electrons does vanadium have?
Vanadium has 23 protons. The atomic number is the same as the number of protons.
Used to accelerate protons in the study of subatomic particles?
Tevatron.
Do protons and electrons accelerate toward each other?
Yes, they do. Protons are negetive charges and Electrons are positive charges.
How is a cyclotron used to treat patients?
A cyclotron is used to accelerate protons, which are used in the medical treatment of patients prescribed this form of therapy. It is an accelerated proton source. Proton therapy is gaining in use, but as it takes a cyclotron, which is a nuclear particle accelerator, to provide the accelerated protons, it costs a small fortune to set up a treatment center. The treatment begins with winding up the beast to gather and accelerate the protons (which is where the cyclotron comes in), and then the direction of the particle stream through appropriate (highly evacuated) plumbing to a treatment room. There, a patient is set up in front of the "business end" of the proton "gun" and positioned appropriately to administer the dose or radiation. Look below and check the links to related questions and to websites with related material.
What is a sentence with the word accelerate?
The word accelerate is a verb meaning "to get faster." Thus it can be used in the following possible sentences:He saw the lights were turning green and so started to accelerate.Hiring more workers can accelerate the manufacturing process.Objects falling to earth accelerate because of gravity.
Are quarks traveling at the speed of light?
Quarks have not been observed to exist separately - they are "confined" within larger particles such as protons and neutrons, that are made up of several quarks (3 each, in the case of protons and neutrons).
Are Rockets able to accelerate in space?
Yes, that is why they are used in space.
What types of operations is DMA used to accelerate?
DMA operations
A net force greater than zero will cause an object to?
... to accelerate.... to accelerate.... to accelerate.... to accelerate.
How many protons and neutrons are used in an atom?
"Used" is the wrong term to be used in this case. An atom is MADE up of protons,neutrons and electrons. Also, the number of protons or neutrons present in an atom depends on which atom is it or of which element it is.
If the net force on an object is zero?
... then it won't accelerate.... then it won't accelerate.... then it won't accelerate.... then it won't accelerate.
Why is it hard to accelerate on ice?
You don't get the friction you need to accelerate on ice. This is why asphalt is used on roads, tyres can grip on it and the friction will create higher speeds.
