Speed is the ability to?

Speed is the ability to move quickly from one point to another. It is a measure of how fast an object is moving.


Which type of radiation alpha beta or gamma is a fast moving electron ejected from the nucleus?

A fast moving electron given off as part of a nuclear reactions is a beta particle. Also, anti-electrons, known as positrons, are beta particles. Electrons are involved in beta- decay, along with anti-neutrinos; and positrons are involved in beta+ decay, along with neutrinos.


Is a delta particle a fast moving electron given off by a nucleus during radioactive decay?

No, a delta particle is not a fast moving electron given off by a nucleus during radioactive decay. The electron described here is a beta particle, and specifically a beta minus particle. It is given off in (no surprise) beta minus decay. A link to a related question can be found below.


What is a fast moving stream called?

A fast-moving stream is called a river or a torrent.


What unlikely fusion takes place in stars that produces carbon?

The triple-alpha process involves the fusion of two helium-4 nuclei to form a beryllium-8 nucleus, which then fuses with another helium-4 nucleus to produce carbon-12. Beryllium-8 is unstable and decays pretty fast. Okay, really fast: the half-life is about 10-17 seconds. The "unlikely" part comes from the fact that the second fusion needs to happen before the beryllium can decay back into two alpha particles. This doesn't happen to any appreciable degree until the temperature hits a hundred million Kelvin or so.

Which type of nuclear substance is a helium nucleus?

The ionizing radiation that is similar in structure to the helium nucleus is the Alpha Particle. The Alpha consists of two neutrons and two protons (but no electron shell) traveling with sufficient momentum to remove an electron from another atom or molecule during a collision or near collision.An alpha particle


Can velocity be transferred?

Yes. If a fast moving body has an impact with another fast moving body, the velocity of that initial body will be transferred into the latter body.


What is a fast moving electron given off by a nucleus during radioactive decay and has a negative chare?

Niels Bohr's model of an atom looked like an what?

This model contain a central atomic nucleus surrounded by a cloud of fast moving electrons.


What releases a fast moving electron from a neutron in the nucleus?

Beta decay releases a fast-moving electron (beta particle) from a neutron in the nucleus. During beta decay, a neutron is converted into a proton, and the electron and an antineutrino are emitted to conserve charge and energy.


What is a fast-moving electron given off by a nucleus during radioactive decay.?

One part of a beta- particle. The other part is an electron antineutrino


Why fast neutrons are not captured by nucleus?

The nucleus is very small; if it were the size of a golf ball the outer electrons would be about as far away as the height of the empire state building. If a neutron was moving very fast it probably wouldn't hit a nucleus. When , occasionally, a neutron does hit a nucleus, it might start nuclear fission- especially when the nucleus is heavy like Uranium 235 (U-235). So, to sum it up, most neutrons are not captured by a nucleus because they are both so small relative to the space that they are in, but sometimes a neutron will hit a nucleus.
