No. The more energy the accelerator can give the particle, the closer the particle

can approach to the speed of light, but it can never reach exactly that speed.

How do particle accelerators help in performing artificial transmutations?

Sometimes artificial transmutations will not occur unless bombarding particles are moving at extremely high speeds, and since a particle accelerator can accelerate a particles speed very close to the speed of light, then you would have to use a particle accelerator to make the transmutation happen.


What happens hen you heat a particle up so fast it travels at the speed of light?

It is not possible for a particle with mass to reach the speed of light, as it would require infinite energy. Additionally, at speeds approaching the speed of light, relativistic effects become significant, causing time dilation and length contraction.


Which particle travels the fastest?

There are some particles that travel at the speed of light - mainly, the photon (the particle that makes up light), and the (hypothetical) graviton. No particles are known to travel faster than that, and it doesn't seem likely that this is at all possible.


Is sound the fastest speed possible?

No!...Speed of light is the fastest speed possible, but now a new particle called lepton is more faster than light...rather it is has the fastest speed discovered till now.It travels in the same wave as light travels i.e tranverse waves.


If a particle travels in space turns into energy or not?

Not. Because. it can only possible when it travel with speed of light, but it is still impossible.


Which are the non relativistic particles?

A non-relativistic particle is any particle not traveling at a speed close to the speed of light. This is not a property of particular type of particle; any particle may in general travel at any speed (below the speed of light). An exception are particles which are massless such as photons and gluons, these MUST travel at the speed of light.


What is a powerful machine that moved nuclear particles fast enough to make larger nuclei when the particles collide?

A particle accelerator is a powerful machine capable of moving nuclear particles close to the speed of light and then colliding them to generate larger nuclei. This process can create new elements and isotopes through nuclear fusion reactions.


How does particle acquire speed such as the speed of light?

Photons begin their existence travelling at the speed of light, they do not "acquire" this speed.


What device is used to cause high speed collisions?

A particle accelerator, such as the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), is often used to cause high-speed collisions by accelerating particles to near the speed of light and then colliding them together. These collisions are used to study fundamental particles and their interactions.


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.


What is the approximate speed of a gamma particle?

The speed of a gamma particle is approximately the speed of light, which is around 299,792 kilometers per second in a vacuum.
