Sentences with phrase «energy the moving particles»

Not exact matches

Much the way ships form bow waves as they move through water, CMEs set off interplanetary shocks when they erupt from the Sun at extreme speeds, propelling a wave of high - energy particles.

P waves compress and move particles in the same direction that the energy is traveling — imagine the in and out of an accordion in action.

On the kelvin scale, temperature is determined by the kinetic energy of particles, so a gas of slow particles is colder than a gas of fast - moving ones.

In such a scenario, particles moving across magnetic fields naturally jump from one to the next in a similar cascade, gathering speed and energy along the way — correlating to that scenario of rocks rolling down a hill.

But here is the real brainteaser: If the particle enters in the same direction as the black hole's spin, it joins an «outgoing beam» that has negative energy and moves backward in time.

If the particle enters in the direction opposite that of the black hole's rotation, it will join an «ingoing beam» that has positive energy and moves forward in time.

The faster the streams move, the more energy there is; the more energy there is, the more gravity there is, and the faster the particles accelerate.

Magnetic reconnection, in addition to pushing around clouds of plasma, converts some magnetic energy into heat, which has an effect on just how much energy is left over to move the particles through space.

When a high - energy electron (a beta particle) is created during a double - beta decay, that electron will scatter off other electrons and create electron - hole pairs that move inside the germanium and create a pulse of charge inside the detector.

The finding makes intuitive sense: Particles tend to dissipate more energy when they resonate with a driving force, or move in the direction it is pushing them, and they are more likely to move in that direction than any other at any given moment.

The upgrade has made it sensitive to lower - energy collisions — signals from slower - moving particles.

The method involves studying the energy spectrum of particles moving in the vicinity — in one case it will be continuous and in the other it will be discrete.

Thus, as particles in a system move around and interact, they will, through sheer chance, tend to adopt configurations in which the energy is spread out.

Now what you actually do is bring particles — in the case of the Large Hadron Collider protons — that is the nucleus of hydrogen atoms and you accelerate particles so that they're moving very, very rapidly, they have a very large energy in their motion; and at the Large Hadron Collider, the LHC, the protons will be accelerated to within a part in the billion of the speed of light.

Slow - moving particles from the sun's equator flow from one flank across to the other, and fast, higher - energy particles from the poles flow through the top and bottom.

radiation Energy, emitted by a source, that travels through space in waves or as moving subatomic particles.

They release radio energy in a nearly flat spectrum because of the emission of radiation by charged particles moving spirally at nearly the speed of light in a magnetic field enmeshed in the gaseous remnant.

However, a consequence of Ampere's Law and Faraday's Law is that a charged particle, such as an electron, moving in an orbit should radiate energy as electromagnetic waves.

The particles move in unison and flow without losing energy, becoming what is known as a superfluid.

Astronomers, using NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory, have spotted a fast - moving pulsar escaping from a supernova remnant while firing off a record - breaking jet of high - energy particles — the longest of any object in the Milky Way galaxy.

A planet on the ring's outside is moving more slowly than the dust particles, and its gravity decreases the energy of the particles, making them fall slightly inward.

Biology: Cell biology Photosynthesis Moving and changing material Health matters Chemistry: Atomic structure and the periodic table Structure, bonding and the properties of matter Chemical quantities and calculations Chemical change Energy changes Physics: Energy Electricity Particle model of matter Atomic structure

See Without Seeing and Know Without Knowing is an installation of ethereal paintings that considers that we, as living beings, are energy bodies made up of small, moving particles, which exist without edges or boundaries.

Found that while trying to look up the maximum energy for cosmic rays, and it's apparently on the order of «enough to knock you down if it hits you» — a particle moving nearly at the speed of light has a huge mass.

This great powerful heat creating the visible light is the actual thermal energy of the Sun on the move to us, it particles of matter / energy on the move to us, this is the Sun's HEAT.

Actually it can and does, heat in the wire is being transmitted via the interaction of moving particles, gravity will cause the particles to slow slightly as its height increases thus slightly less energy is will be transferred to the atom above a particular atom than was received from the atom below it.

It is when it inelastically collides at the bottom, and the organized kinetic energy (which is quite capable of doing reversible work still) becomes disorganized, moving into the far more probable state with the same total energy but with the particles of gas moving every which way, that we might talk about «heat», but even that is really a false idea.

If the moving particles have a lot of thermal energy, then this is called thermal convection.

Hawking radiation is based on the well established fact of quantuum tunneling where a particle may disappear at one point in space and reappear at another point without enough energy to have moved across a barrier from point A to point B. Flash memory chips work by quantuum tunneling where an electron is raised to an energy level just short of being able to cross a barrier into a holding pen.

In physics, the mean free path is the average distance travelled by a moving particle (such as an atom, a molecule, a photon) between successive impacts (collisions), [1] which modify its direction or energy or other particle properties.
