Hello, Do all forms of energy fit neatly into the larger categories of either kinetic or potential? Sam

Bob, Thanks. That gives me a good perspective. This is a bit of different question, but do you know what physicist theorized about such collisions before there were particle accelerators? I assume they must have considered the possibility. Sam

Bob, Thank you for the reply. Do you know if there are other examples in addition to this one? I am curious if this is this example is unique or if there are a range of examples of this type of collision. Sam

Hello, Is there an example in nature of two particles with only an attractive force between them directly colliding? If so, where does the kinetic energy go? Sam
