This number is known as the Coulomb logarithm and is designated by either or . It is the factor by which small-angle collisions are more effective than large-angle collisions. The Coulomb logarithm was introduced independently by Lev Landau in 1936 [1] and Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar in 1943. [2]
The steric factor, usually denoted ρ, [1] is a quantity used in collision theory. Also called the probability factor , the steric factor is defined as the ratio between the experimental value of the rate constant and the one predicted by collision theory.
The rate for a bimolecular gas-phase reaction, A + B → product, predicted by collision theory is [6] = = ()where: k is the rate constant in units of (number of molecules) −1 ⋅s −1 ⋅m 3.
The total number of collisions in 2016 exceeded the number from Run 1 – at a higher energy per collision. The proton–proton run was followed by four weeks of proton–lead collisions. [109] In 2017, the luminosity was increased further and reached twice the design value. The total number of collisions was higher than in 2016 as well. [41]
During the 2023 holiday season — Nov. 1 2022 to Jan. 31, 2023 — about 14,900 people were treated in hospital emergency departments for holiday decorating-related injuries.
A traffic collision in Japan, 2007 The aftermath of an accident involving a jackknifing truck, Mozambique, Africa. 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.
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 ).
This causes a repulsive force to develop between the sheet and the leading edge of the magnet. In contrast, at the trailing edge (right side), the clockwise current causes a magnetic field pointed down, in the same direction as the magnet's field, resulting in an attractive force between the sheet and the trailing edge of the magnet.
