Collision detection utilizes time coherence to allow even finer time steps without much increasing CPU demand, such as in air traffic control. After an inelastic collision, special states of sliding and resting can occur and, for example, the Open Dynamics Engine uses constraints to simulate them. Constraints avoid inertia and thus instability.
The COR is a property of a pair of objects in a collision, not a single object. If a given object collides with two different objects, each collision has its own COR. When a single object is described as having a given coefficient of restitution, as if it were an intrinsic property without reference to a second object, some assumptions have been made – for example that the collision is with ...
Colliding may lead to merging if two galaxies collide and do not have enough momentum to continue traveling after the collision. As with other galaxy collisions, the merging of two galaxies may create a starburst region of new stars. [4] This starburst is an example of an increased star formation rate within the merged galaxies.
ALICE confirmed that the QCD matter created in Pb-Pb collisions behaves like a fluid, with strong collective motions that are well described by hydrodynamic equations. The fireball formed in nuclear collisions at the LHC is hotter, lives longer and expands to a larger size than the medium that was formed in heavy-ion collisions at RHIC.
Carrier-sense multiple access with collision avoidance (CSMA/CA) in computer networking, is a network multiple access method in which carrier sensing is used, but nodes attempt to avoid collisions by beginning transmission only after the channel is sensed to be "idle". [1] [2] When they do transmit, nodes transmit their packet data in its entirety.
17 August 2017: Gravitational wave detected from merger of two neutron stars (00:23 video; artist concept). On 17 August 2017, the LIGO and Virgo interferometers observed GW170817, [7] a gravitational wave associated with the merger of a binary neutron star (BNS) system in NGC 4993, an elliptical galaxy in the constellation Hydra about 140 million light years away.

On average, every year, one satellite is destroyed by collision with other satellites or space junk. [23] [25] As of 2009, there had been four collisions between catalogued objects, including a collision between two satellites in 2009. [4] Orbital decay is much slower at altitudes where atmospheric drag is insignificant.
A simple collision avoidance system. In transportation, collision avoidance is the maintenance of systems and practices designed to prevent vehicles (such as aircraft, motor vehicles, ships, cranes and trains) from colliding with each other. They perceive the environment with sensors and prevent collisions using the data collected from the sensors.
