What is collision potential and closing potential?

Collision potential and closing potential have to do with physics. These terms are in reference to how fast atoms collide with each other and the result of the collision. The faster the atoms are moving the greater the closing potential.


What is similarity potential energy and elastic?

elastic is when the objects in the collision bounce off one another and ENERGY IS CONSERVED.


Relation between relaxation time and mean collision time?

Relaxation time= mean collision time/(1-) where A is the average angle of scattering that the electron makes with its initial direction


What is the definition of a superelastic collision?

A superelastic collision is when the total kinetic energy AFTER a collision is more than the total kinetic energy BEFORE the collision. It's more easily seen when examining the speeds (the masses will normally stay the same) of the two objects. When the speeds are faster AFTER the collision than BEFORE the collision, you likely have a superelastic collision. (Kinetic Energy equals 1/2xMassxSpeed^2) When the speed increases there is a larger kinetic energy. Before you implode (I almost did) from the disregard of the first law of thermodynamics (that energy can't be created or destroyed, only transferred and transformed), the increase in kinetic energy is most likely a conversion of potential energy to kinetic energy. An example would be two carts with springs colliding and creating a supercollision. Since the springs are triggered because of the collision, their potential energy will be converted into kinetic energy and the carts will leave the collision with a larger velocity and thus more kinetic energy.


Reflectors always mean you are facing traffic the wrong way and could have a head-on collision?

reflectors, on the lines on the edge of the road, always mean you are facing traffic the wrong way and could have a head-on collision.

What do you mean by collision?

Collision is a coverage that usually applies when you "collide" with another vehicle.

Does the activated complex have the highest kinetic energy?

No, the kinetic energy that was present before the collision will become potential energy.

How big were the actual holes created by the collision?

I don't know what collision you mean but if you mean the titanic, the iceberg took out 300 feet of the starboard (left) side of the hull.

What does collision mean in economics?

The term collision in insurance covers the cost of damage to a car that is the fault of the insured. Collision insurance does not cover any damage caused from vandalism or theft.
