Kollitionen

Kollitionen is a term used in various contexts, most commonly in politics and physics. In politics, a coalition refers to a group of political parties that have formed an alliance to govern. This usually occurs when no single party wins a majority of seats in an election, requiring them to cooperate to form a government. Coalition governments can be unstable, as differing ideologies and priorities among the member parties can lead to disagreements and eventual collapse. However, they can also provide a broader representation of the electorate and foster compromise.

In physics, a collision is an event in which two or more bodies exert forces on each other over a relatively short interval of time. This interaction can result in a change in the motion of the bodies. Collisions are broadly classified into elastic and inelastic types. In an elastic collision, both momentum and kinetic energy are conserved. In an inelastic collision, kinetic energy is not conserved, meaning some energy is lost, often as heat or sound. Examples of collisions range from subatomic particle interactions to the impact of planets. The study of collisions is fundamental to understanding mechanics and energy transfer.
