What is another name for a fast moving helium nucleus?
A fast-moving helium nucleus is also known as an alpha particle. It consists of two protons and two neutrons bound together. Alpha particles are commonly produced in nuclear reactions and are highly ionizing.
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.
What is the Lagrangian for a particle moving on a sphere?
The Lagrangian for a particle moving on a sphere is the kinetic energy minus the potential energy of the particle. It takes into account the particle's position and velocity on the sphere.
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 will happen to the wavelength associated with a moving particle if its velocity is reduced to half?
If the velocity of a moving particle is reduced to half, the wavelength associated with it will remain the same. The wavelength of a particle is determined by its momentum, not its velocity.

When a particle is not moving what type of energy does it have?
When a particle is not moving, it still has potential energy due to its position in a force field. This potential energy can be gravitational, elastic, or related to other forces acting on the particle.
What happens when an air particle pushes against another air particle?
The air particle with the greater force moves the other air particle in the general direction it was moving
When faster moving and slower moving particles collide which particles gain energy?
It depends upon the mass of the particles also. Assuming equal mass, then the slower moving particle gains some energy, and the faster moving particle loses energy. However, if the slower moving particle had greater mass, it could transfer energy to the faster moving particle.
What must a charged particle be doing in order to experience a magnetic force?
A charged particle must be moving in a magnetic field in order to experience a magnetic force. If the particle is stationary, it will not experience a magnetic force.
How can you find the direction of particle at a given time if the particle is moving in circle?
The direction of a particle moving in a circle at a given time can be found by determining the tangent to the circle at that point. The tangent is perpendicular to the radius of the circle at that point and indicates the direction of motion.
In a nuclear fission reaction a freely moving neutron?
In a nuclear fission reaction, a freely moving neutron undergoes neutron capture and initiates the nuclear fission of a fuel atom.
Why is nuclear energy potential?
Nuclear energy is potential energy because it is not moving.
