Performing the Chemical Test by Reagent Strip The urine must be collected using appropriate technique and be tested within one hour ofcollection. If tests cannot be performed within this time, the specimen may be refrigerated for upto 8 hours.
Elastic and Inelastic Collisions. A perfectly elastic collision is defined as one in which there is no loss of kinetic energy in the collision. An inelastic collision is one in which part of the kinetic energy is changed to some other form of energy in the collision. Any macroscopic collision between objects will convert some of the kinetic energy into internal energy and other forms of energy, so no large scale impacts are perfectly elastic.
According to the kinetic molecular theory, particles in a gaseous state, whether in the form of molecules or atomic gases, are in constant, straight-line motion, occasionally bouncing off each other in perfectly elastic collisions which change their direction without slowing them down.
