Collision
In physics, a collision is any event in which two or more bodies exert forces on each other in a relatively short time. Although the most common use of the word ''collision'' refers to incidents in which two or more objects collide with great force, the scientific use of the term implies nothing about the magnitude of the force. Types of collisions Collision is short-duration interaction between two bodies or more than two bodies simultaneously causing change in motion of bodies involved due to internal forces acted between them during this. Collisions involve forces (there is a change in velocity). The magnitude of the velocity difference just before impact is called the closing speed. All collisions conserve momentum. What distinguishes different types of collisions is whether they also conserve kinetic energy of the system before and after the collision. Collisions are of two types: #Elastic collision If all of the total kinetic energy is conserved (i.e. no energy is releas ...

Can't Slow Down (Saves The Day Album)
''Can't Slow Down'' is the debut album by American rock band Saves the Day, released on August 11, 1998, by Equal Vision Records. The band formed in late 1997. Recording The album was produced by Steve Evetts purely because he had previously worked with Lifetime, a band vocalist Chris Conley loved. It was recorded during the winter break of Conley's senior year of high school, and released after the band graduated from high school. This album was the bass player Sean McGrath's only recording with Saves the Day. Notably, he was also responsible for changing the band's name from Sefler to Saves the Day. Unlike their later releases, this album has a melodic hardcore sound, sharing the same sound of other bands like 7 Seconds and Lifetime. Release Saves the Day went on their first full tour of U.S. with Bane. ''Can't Slow Down'' was released by Equal Vision Records on August 11, 1998. McGrath came up with the title of the album, taking it from the Lionel Richie album of the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Collision (telecommunications)
A collision is the situation that occurs when two or more demands are made simultaneously on equipment that can handle only one at any given instant.Source: from Federal Standard 1037C and from MIL-STD-188 It may refer to: * Collision domain, a physical network segment where data packets can "collide" ** Carrier-sense multiple access with collision avoidance, (CSMA/CA) used for example with wireless LANs ** Carrier-sense multiple access with collision detection, (CSMA/CD) used with Ethernet * Late collision, a specific type of collision that should not occur on properly operating networks * Local collision is a collision that occurs in the network interface rather than on the network itself See also * Collision (other) * Contention (telecommunications) In statistical time division multiplexing, contention is a media access method that is used to share a broadcast medium. In contention, any computer in the network can transmit data at any time (first come-first se ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Hash Collision
In computer science, a hash collision or hash clash is when two distinct pieces of data in a hash table share the same hash value. The hash value in this case is derived from a hash function which takes a data input and returns a fixed length of bits. Although hash algorithms, especially cryptographic hash algorithms, have been created with the intent of being Collision resistance, collision resistant, they can still sometimes map different data to the same hash (by virtue of the pigeonhole principle). Malicious users can take advantage of this to mimic, access, or alter data. Due to the possible negative applications of hash collisions in data management and computer security (in particular, cryptographic hash functions), collision avoidance has become an important topic in computer security. Background Hash collisions can be unavoidable depending on the number of objects in a set and whether or not the bit string they are mapped to is long enough in length. When there is a s ...

Train Wreck
A train accident or train wreck is a type of disaster involving one or more trains. Train wrecks often occur as a result of miscommunication, as when a moving train meets another train on the same track, when the wheels of train come off the track or when a boiler explosion occurs. Train accidents have often been widely covered in popular media and in folklore. A head-on collision between two trains is colloquially called a " cornfield meet" in the United States. Classification of railway accidents, both in terms of cause and effect, is a valuable aid in studying rail (and other) accidents to help to prevent similar ones occurring in the future. Systematic investigation for over 150 years has led to the railways' excellent safety record (compared, for example, with road transport). Ludwig von Stockert (1913) proposed a classification of accidents by their effects (consequences); e.g. head-on-collisions, rear-end collisions, derailments. Schneider and Mase (1968) propose ...

Head-on Collision
A head-on collision is a traffic collision where the front ends of two vehicles such as cars, trains, ships or planes hit each other when travelling in opposite directions, as opposed to a side collision or rear-end collision. Rail transport With railways, a head-on collision occurs most often on a Single track (rail), single line railway. This usually means that at least one of the trains has Signal passed at danger, passed a signal at danger, or that a signalman has made a major error. Head-on collisions may also occur at junctions, for similar reasons. In the early days of railroading in the United States, such collisions were quite common and gave to the rise of the term "Cornfield Meet". As time progressed and signalling became more standardized, such collisions became less frequent. Even so, the term still sees some usage in the industry. The origins of the term are not well known, but it is attributed to crashes happening in rural America where farming and co ...

Traffic Collision
A traffic collision, also known as a motor vehicle collision, or car crash, occurs when a vehicle collides with another vehicle, pedestrian, animal, road debris, or other moving or stationary obstruction, such as a tree, pole or building. Traffic collisions often result in injury, disability, death, and property damage as well as financial costs to both society and the individuals involved. Road transport is statistically the most dangerous situation people deal with on a daily basis, but casualty figures from such incidents attract less media attention than other, less frequent types of tragedy. The commonly used term car accident is increasingly falling out of favor with many government departments and organizations: the Associated Press style guide recommends caution before using the term and the National Union of Journalists advises against it in their Road Collision Reporting Guidelines. Some collisions are intentional vehicle-ramming attacks, staged crashes, vehicu ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Ship Collision
Ship collision is a type of maritime incident, a violent encounter involving moving ships. While the standard definition of collision involves more than one moving ship, and an engagement between a ship and a motionless object is formally known as "allision", in practice the word "collision" is usually used to describe also the situation where a moving ship hits a stationary ship or a fixed object such as a bridge. Ship collisions are of particular importance in marine accidents. Some reasons for the latter are: * The loss of human life. * The environmental impact of oil spills, especially where large oil tanker, tanker ships are involved. * Financial consequences to local communities close to the accident. * The financial consequences to shipowners, due to ship loss or penalties. * Damage to coastal or off-shore infrastructure, for example collision with bridges. As sea lanes are getting more congested and ship speeds higher, there is a significant possibility that a ship m ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Satellite Collision
Strictly speaking, a satellite collision is when two satellites collide while in orbit around a third, much larger body, such as a planet or moon. This definition is typically loosely extended to include collisions between sub-orbital or escape-velocity objects with an object in orbit. Prime examples are the anti-satellite weapon tests. There have been no observed collisions between natural satellites, but impact craters may show evidence of such events. Both intentional and unintentional collisions have occurred between man-made satellites around Earth since the 1980s. Anti-satellite weapon tests and failed rendezvous or docking operations can result in orbital space debris, which in turn may collide with other satellites. Natural-satellite collisions There have been no observed collisions between natural satellites of any Solar System planet or moon. Collision candidates for past events are: * Impact craters on many Jupiter (Jovian) and Saturn's (Saturnian) moons. They may have ...

Mid-air Collision
In aviation, a mid-air collision is an aviation accident, accident in which two or more aircraft come into unplanned contact during flight. The potential for a mid-air collision is increased by Aviation communication, miscommunication, mistrust, error in Air navigation, navigation, deviations from flight plans, lack of situational awareness, and the lack of Traffic collision avoidance system, collision-avoidance systems. Although a rare occurrence in general due to the vastness of open space available, collisions often happen near or at airports, where large volumes of aircraft are spaced more closely than in general flight. First recorded collision The first recorded collision between aircraft occurred at the "Milano Circuito Aereo Internazionale" meeting held between 24 September and 3 October 1910 in Milan, Italy. On 3 October, Frenchman René Thomas (racing driver), René Thomas, flying the Antoinette IV monoplane, collided with British Army Captain Bertram Dickson by r ...
