Sort of. Particle accelerators are anything that take particles (usually electrons or protons) and accelerate them to high speeds. Super colliders are really powerful particle accelerators along with a bunch of equipment to measure what happens when the particles collide. So when someone talks about a particle accelerator, they're usually talking about colliders. But there are lots of things that are particle accelerators that aren't colliders. The old CRT Computer Monitors (heavy ones that are about as deep as they are wide) accelerate electrons and shoot them into the glass plate in front to make light, so there's a particle accelerator inside.

According to the heisenberg uncertainty principle if the position of a moving particle is known what other cannot be known?

According to the Heisenberg uncertainty principle if the position of a moving particle is known velocity is the other quantity that cannot be known. Heisenberg uncertainty principle states that the impossibility of knowing both velocity and position of a moving particle at the same time.


Why we can't use super and this keywords in the same constructor?

because, the super refers to the constructor of the parent class while this refers to the constructor of the current class. Either statements must be the first line in a constructor. So, since we cannot have two first lines in a method we cannot have both keywords in the same constructor.public RandomTest() {super();this();}The above code will never compile. Even if we flip the positions of super and this, we will get the same compilation error.


What are the factors which effetcs ignition lag?

it is same as ignition delay. it is the time gap between the injection of fuel and the first particle of mixture which get ignited


Is super glue same as krazy glue?

Yes, they are both brands of cyanoacrylate.


Is it possible to have a method in the super class and sub class with same name but different signature?

Yes, it is perfectly possible. If two methods have a different signature, they can exist together irrespective of where they are present, either in the same class or in a super class, sub class situation. If two methods have the same signature and one exists in the super class and one in the sub class it is called method overriding.

How are particle accelerators used to synthesize elements?

What essentially happens is two nuclei of two different (or the same) elements are smashed together; sometimes (although rarely) parts of the nuclei will stick together instead of getting obliterated or shot out. It is through this process that particle accelerators are used to create elements; however, it is worth noting that these elements are unstable due to the nucleus's atomic radius being to large; it will be greater than the range of the residual strong force.

What is an alpha particle equivilent to?

An alpha particle is equivalent to a helium-4 nucleus, or a helium-4 ion. A difference is that an alpha particle has a certain amount of energy associated with it, so it can said to be fast or hot. The energy is measured in thousands or millions of electron volts (keV or MeV).


What is the smallest particle into which a covalently bonded compound can be divided and still be the same?

Molecule is the smallest particle that still holds the same compound.


How are elements with atomic numbers higher than 92 created?

What element has the same number of protons and neutrons in its nucleus as an alpha particle?

An alpha particle has 2 protons and 2 neutrons. That is the same as a helium nucleus.


Which atoms are in an alpha particle?

An alpha particle is two protons and two neutrons, this is the same as a helium nucleus.


What particle has about the same mass as proton but has no charge?

A neutron. It is one of the particles in the nucleus and has no charge


Is a negatively charged particle the same as a neutral particle?

No, a negatively charged particle (electron) has a negative charge associated with it. A neutral particle (neutron) is neither negatively charged nor positively charged.
