of course, the damage of a collision depends upon how fast to objects are moving at each other and how strong they are. If you have two tanks moving at each other 2 miles per hour it will be very little damage and the ->shape<- will not change much, maybe a dint or two. But if two balloons filled with water are moving at each other 5000 mph they will completely evoporate in a burst of light, and their ->shape<- will change very much. This is how shape and motion are related.
Grinding or breaking an Alka-Seltzer tablet increases the number of particles and increases the surface area. Material which was within the tablet is exposed, allowing for more collisions between reactant particles and resulting in an increased rate of reaction.
