The standard answer is constant bearing. As soon as a another vessel is sighted at sea, you take a compass bearing on it, and you keep on taking compass bearings. If the bearing does not change, you are on a collision course.

If it's on your port side, do nothing. If it's on your starboard side, give way by changing speed or course.

How is the activation energy related to whether or not collision between molecules is successful?

Generally speaking, the lower the activation energy, the more successful collision between molecules will happen.


What happens when another object collides with another object?

Newton's Third Law is closely related to Conservation of Momentum. When objects collide, whether the collision is elastic or not, momentum is conserved. (An elastic collision is one in which mechanical energy is conserved. In an elastic collision, after the collision, the objects go away at the same relative speed at which they approached before the collision.)

What factors do you think may cause there to be a difference between the momentum before and the momentum after the collision?

There is a Law of Conservation of Momentum, which states that total momentum is always conserved. In this case, that means that - assuming no additional bodies are involved - the total momentum before the collision will be the same as the total momentum after the collision. It doesn't even matter whether the collision is elastic or not.


What will collision insurance cover in the event of an accident?

Collision insurance will cover any damages to your vehicle (or refund you the value of the car in the event that it becomes totaled) in the event of an accident. Collision insurance coverage typically only applies when you are the at-fault driver in the accident. Collision coverage covers any sort of collision whether it be with another car, a pot hole, a tree, a guard rail, a ditch, etc.


What is the momentum of marbles after collision?

Same as before the collision. This applies whether the collision was elastic (no loss of kinetic energy) or inelastic (some kinetic energy lost).

What happens to the vehicles in a collision and the principles of elastic and inelastic collisions?

When the collision is perfectly elastic then energy is not lost but exchanged between the bodies collided. So total KE would remain the same before and after collision. But in case of inelastic collision, there would be loss of energy in the form of heat or sound or vibration etc etc. But whether collision is elastic or inelastic the momentum is conserved. That is, the total momentum in a given direction would be the same before and after collision.


What is the difference between auto comphrehensive and auto collision insurance coverage?

Collision covers damage from collisions only, whether it is a fender-bender in the parking lot, running into the garage, or a traffic accident. Comprehensive covers damage "other than by collision", that would be hail, flood, vandalism, windshield pits, etc.

When is a car considered too old to have collision insurance?

It is not the age of the car, but the value of the car that should determine whether or not you choose to have collision insurance on it. For example, if you own an 88 Pontiac Bonneville and it's worth $500 then it doesn't really make much sense to pay $500 per year to insure it. However if you get into an accident that is your fault and you don't have collision insurance, then no one is paying for the damages to your car. This is your choice.
