Phrases 24
- collision detectionThe process or mechanism of determining whether two shapes are partially occupying the same space.
- collision courseA course or path between two or more objects which, if continued at the current rate, will result in a collision.
- head-on collisionA collision where the front ends of two vehicles (such as ships, trains, cars, planes, etc.) hit each other.

- elastic collisionA collision in which kinetic energy is conserved.
- hash collisionThe situation where two or more inputs to a hash function produce identical output.
- naming collisionAn error caused by two source code elements (such as variables or functions) having the same name as each other.
- Coulomb collisionthe interaction between two moving electric charges at close range
- collision bulkheadA strong, watertight transverse bulkhead in the fore part of a ship to prevent water flowing aft in the event of a collision
- anti-collisionAlternative form of anticollision: Acting to combat or prevent collisions
- collision attacksplural of collision attack: An attack on a cryptographic hash function that is able to find a hash collision (a pair of different inputs that have the same hash) faster than by brute force.
- collision coursesplural of collision course: A course or path between two or more objects which, if continued at the current rate, will result in a collision.
