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.

Why electoron revolve round the neucleus?

since electrons are negative and protons are posotive, the subatomic particles attract because of the opposite charges


How does mass turn into infinity at the speed of light?

It doesn't - the object will never achieve the speed of light, since an infinite mass is not possible (it would require infinite energy). This only describes a tendency: as the object gets closer and closer to the speed of light, so, too, will its mass increase more and more, approaching infinity - this means there is no upper limit to the mass as the object approaches the speed of light.


Why light waves doesn't require a medium for its propogation but sound waves require?

Light waves are electromagnetic waves that can propagate through vacuum since they do not require a medium for transmission. Sound waves, on the other hand, are mechanical waves that require a medium (such as air, water, or solids) to propagate because they rely on the particles in the medium to transfer energy from one point to another.


What is universal speed limit?

The human speed limit has not yet been identified but one way to be sure is to calculate the energy muscle can provide for our legs. For example, in a 100m race, the amount of kinetic energy can be calculated. Usain Bolt's kinetic energy for the world record is about 369.56J. So, in order the know the max limit of human speed ,just get the max energy our body can provide at an instance.


What are the rule that governs the directions of the diffusion of particles?

A law of conservation called "The Conservation of Momentum.' This law underwent severe criticism at it's introduction in the scientific community, because particles in accelerators did not seem to conserve their momentum. it has since been proven that the discrepancy is made up for by the tiny, hard-to-detect neutrino particles.

Why a shadow forms behind a tree?

Light from the sun (or any other source) travels in particles, which strike objects and are often partially absorbed. A shadow forms behind a tree because when the particles hit the tree, they are absorbed and reflected, so that everything on the other side of the tree, where the light would have gone, receives no light. However, some light will bounce off of other objects and go behind the tree in the other particles' place. Since this other light will already have been partially absorbed, it will be more dim than direct light. Because of this, we are able to see in the shadow, but since the light there is not as strong, it is darker. This darker region behind the tree, is the shadow.


Why is speed of light greater in vacuum?

Since there are essentially no particles in a vacuum to get in the light rays way. Thus less disturbance.


Would 1 bud light platinum put you over the legal limit?

Since the legal limit is a percentage of concentration in your blood, the amount it takes to put you over the limit completely depends on how much blood there is in you.


Does light travel as small particles?

Yes, they're called photons. I believe the small particles of light play a major role in Quantum Physics, but I studied that last year in school, and I've long since forgotten.


Why are there more cold particles than warm particles on one side when trying to find thermodynamic equilibrium?

There are more cold particles than warm particles because the particles attract to frozen temperatures. They do this because since the colder the temperature is usually tight the molecules tighten and there is room for only the particles to squeeze.


Why do your feet itch after walking on your hardwood floors?

As dust particles build up on your furniture, it will fall off and land on your floor after motion of air since it is very light. In those dust particles are microscopic dust mites which cause itching irritation.


Why we can't see air?

We can't see air because it is a transparent gas. Our eyes can only detect light that has been reflected or scattered by the particles in the air, such as dust, water vapor, or pollutants. Since air particles are smaller than the wavelengths of visible light, they do not scatter or absorb light in a way that is visible to the human eye.


When a light is shined onto an object the particles must temporarily stop as they hit the object before reflecting back to you to be perceived so what force accelerates the light particles?

Newtonian physics. Every action has an equal and opposite reaction - the object pushes back with the same force the light particles had. Since the speed of light cannot change without refraction, it still goes at the same speed.


Are tachyon beams faster than light?

Tachyons are hypothetical particles which can travel faster than light. But since they are so fast, none have been detected so far.


Does wind cast shadows?

No, wind does not cast shadows. Shadows are formed when an object blocks light, but since wind is the movement of air particles, it cannot block light to create shadows.


Why does a shadow form behind an opaque object?

Light from the sun (or any other source) travels in particles, which strike objects and are often partially absorbed. A shadow forms behind a tree because when the particles hit the tree, they are absorbed and reflected, so that everything on the other side of the tree, where the light would have gone, receives no light. However, some light will bounce off of other objects and go behind the tree in the other particles' place. Since this other light will already have been partially absorbed, it will be more dim than direct light.

What does light consist of and why are they moving?

Light is pure energy. Apparently in packets called photons. Since it (light) has no mass, it always travels at the "speed of light" (which varies depending on the medium its traveling through). It's motion is the only measurement of its energy content.
