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.
A gas is made up of molecules that are always moving randomly. The molecules move in straight lines until they collide with another molecule or the walls of their container.
Yes, liquid particles collide randomly with each other due to their constant motion and interactions. These collisions influence the behavior and properties of liquids, such as viscosity and diffusion.
The likelihood of Earth colliding with another planet in our solar system is extremely low due to the vast distances between planets and stable orbits. However, in the distant future, gravitational interactions between planets could potentially lead to collisions, but the probability is still very minimal.
Collide.
Another word for smash into is trash.
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
