The song was nominated for both the 1996 Academy Award for Best Original Song and the 1996 Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song but lost both to another Disney song, Colors of the Wind from Pocahontas. Like many other Disney theme songs, You've Got a Friend in Me has been covered numerous times.
beta particle. A high-speed electron emitted by an atomic nucleus undergoing radioactive decay. A beta particle is created when a neutron becomes a proton. Beta particles have greater speed and penetrating power than alpha particles. â¦ The process by which a neutron becomes a proton and emits an electron is called beta decay.
The velocity of beta particles and the calculation of the kinetic energy of beta particles. The mass of a beta particle (electron) = 9.11 x 10-31 kg, typical beta particle speed is 90% of the speed of light (0.9 c). This calculation ignores relativistic effects (relativity theory) whereby the mass of a particle dramatically increases, the nearer its velocity is to that of light. (Note that the mass of a beta particle with a speed of 0.9 c is 2.09 x 10-30 kg).
