When such forms of particulate matter travel at high velocities, they are regarded as radiation.
The strategy is extended to more stages in missions calling for very high velocities.
In that case the clusters do not have the gravitational oomph to cause trouble and the lack of high velocities is not a problem.
They used a propellant gun, a laboratory device that can fire small projectiles at extremely high velocities to produce high-pressure shocks.
Neutrons, particles found in the nuclei of atoms, are continually knocked off the surface by cosmic rays, but these neutrons fly out at very high velocities.
To prevent the plywood from breaking apart and rocketing down at high velocities, workers glue, staple and strap the wood to the box bottoms.
The weapon is contrasted with larger artillery pieces, which fire at high velocities, long ranges, and low, direct trajectories.
At extremely high velocities an electron loses a substantial part of its energy by radiative nuclear encounter.
Jim Morris, a partner in the aviation law team and former Boeing pilot in the Royal Air Force, said: "Turbine jet engines can fail for a number of reasons, including failure of the turbine blades which rotate at high velocities.
At very high velocities (near the speed of light), the electron increases in mass (because of relativistic effects), and this increase lowers the cyclotron frequency.
At high velocities, CD is clearly the same thing as the ratio (A′/A) and should therefore be of order unity.
