speed cannot as it is just a magnitude, however as velocity relates both magnitude and direction, and direction can be negative, technically you can have a negative velocity.

Can the speed of the particle ever be negative if so give an example if not explian why?

see speed cannot de negative se speed = distance / time and neithr distance nor time can be negative they r always positive so speed cannot be negative but velocity can be negative


A high-speed electron ejected from a nucleus durng radioactive decay is called a?

an alpha particle


What is a negative electron emitted from the nucleus of an atom at high speed?

beta particle


What is negative speed in science?

Speed in science means vector (direction and velocity). Any force which lessens the vector can be considered negative speed. A spacecraft's retro rockets are a good example.


What is the most fast particle in the world?

Light is currently considered to be the fastest known particle(s) in existence. There are theoretical particles that can function well past the speed of light. One example of such theoretical particle is the Tachyon.


What can be said about the speed of a particle if the net work done on it is zero?

In that case, basically no force acts on the particle, and the particle moves at a constant speed. This constant speed may, or may not, be zero.


Is it possible to have a situation in which the speed of a particle is always zero but the average speed is not zero?

Yes, it is possible. For example, if a particle moves back and forth between two points with different speeds, such that the time spent at each point is unequal, the average speed would not be zero even though the particle's speed is zero at each point.


Is it possible in straight line motion particle have 0 speed and a non-zero velocity .explain?

Sounds like a trick question. The answer is no. Speed is a scalar with magnitude only and velocity is a vector with magnitude (speed) and direction. So If traveling with velocity in a straight line it has speed..


When a particle is moving on a circular track of radius r with angular speed W the linear speed of the particle will be?

The linear speed of the particle moving on a circular track can be found using the formula v = r * ω, where v is the linear speed, r is the radius of the circle, and ω is the angular speed of the particle.


What atomic particle do a beta particle resembles?

A beta particle is a negative electron. A positive electron is a Positron.


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.


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.
