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.
Which is the heaviest and slow moving particle in nuclear instrumentation?
The heaviestis the alpha particle.
What relation does the Brownian movement have to Thermometry?
In thermal equilibrium each degree of freedom of a physical system (like position x) has an expectation value for its energy of <E>=1/2 kB T, where kB is Boltzmann's constant and T is temperature. If you now measure the energy of the Brownian motion (e.g. <E>=1/2 k <x^2>, if it is a particle connected to a spring k with only degree of freedom x), you can calculate the temperature T=2<E>/k or T=k <x^2>/kB. In other words, the temperature can be determined from the Brownian motion x of the particle if the potential in which the particle is moving is well known. You could call this Brownian motion thermometry.
A particle is moving along the x-axis. The line graph shows the velocity of the particle over time. When is the instantaneous acceleration of the particle equal to 0?

What is an alfa particle?
An alpha particle is also considered a ray. It is a fast moving particle containing two protons and two neutrons.
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
Why is vacuum the best insulator?
In order for heat to be conducted, there have to be collisions between atoms or molecules, in which energy is transferred from a faster moving particle to a slower moving particle. In a vacuum there are no particles, hence, no particle collisions and no heat conduction.
Does an alpha particle would be affected by magnetic field?
Sure, like any moving and charged particle.
What is the difference between a wave and a particle?
A wave is a a moving oscillation that transfers energy through a medium. A particle is an object.
What subatomic particle is responsible for moving electrical current?
electrons
Why the particle is not moving toward negative x-direction?
Why the partical is not moving toward negative x-direction?
How will a lighter gas particle have the same kinetic energy as a heavier particle?
It can be hotter (and so be moving faster) F=ma
