ANSWER: One in four. Each ant can only move in two directions. Multiply that to get the total number of possibilities (2×2x2=8 ways). There are only two ways the ants can avoid running into each other. Either they all travel clockwise, or they all travel counterclockwise. Otherwise, there has to be a collision.
Pick one ant and call him "Bill." Once Bill decides which way to go (clockwise or counterclockwise), the other ants have to go in the same direction to avoid a collision. Since the ants choose randomly, there is a one-in-two chance the second ant will move in the same rotational direction as Bill, and a one-in-two chance the third ant will. That means there is a one in four chance of avoiding a collision.
Let's Say each ant can move left or right, here are the possible directions:
LLR, LRL, RLL,
RRL, RLR, LRR,
LLL, RRR
They collide with one another and tend to spread out randomly.
Yes
That child is about to fall off of the slide and collide with another child!
i am a very worried and scared young student and i want to know if another planet will collide with earth?
Collide.
No, Neptune and Uranus will never collide. Their orbits do not come anywhere near one another.
In brief, the reaction rate increases. When there are more collisions, the more probability to collide them in the proper direction. The overall reaction will come to the equilibrium in a lesser time.
Another name would be a subduction zone.
Earthquake
That is conduction.
rate of collisions, the right orientation, enough energy
The move around. For example: M31 is moving towards us, and is expected to collide with our galaxy, the Milky Way, in 3 or 4 billion years.
