kinetic energy greater than the activation energy‚ this is a theory of collision theory. For example‚ in the first experiment‚ the test tube filled with 10 mL of 3% hydrogen peroxide and had scoop of manganese dioxide‚ had a greater reaction than the other test tube. Which simply contained 10 mL of 3% hydrogen peroxide. The factor that affected the reaction rate was that the manganese was seen as a catalyst. The reason collision theory relates to this experiment is due to the fact that the catalyst

The potential dangers of loose objects in vehicles are strongly associated with Newton’s First Law of Motion‚ inertia. Inertia is when an object in motion tries to stay in motion‚ and an object at rest tries to remain at rest‚ unless the object is acted upon by an outside force. For example‚ say a car is traveling along a straight road. Loose objects in the auto are "acted upon" by the body‚ seats‚ or some other part of the vehicle (whatever is touching a loose object)‚ whenever the whole thing
