The space shuttle, in circular orbit around the earth, collides with a small asteroid which ends up in the shuttle's storage bay. for this collision,

a. neither momentum nor kinetic energy is conserved.
b. only momentum is conserved.
c. both momentum and kinetic energy are conserved.
d. only kinetic energy is conserved.

b

Explanation:

The space shuttle, in circular orbit around the Earth, collides with a small asteroid which ends up in the shuttle's storage bay.

This form of collision is called inelastic collision. And inelastic collision momentum is conserved but the kinetic energy is not conserved. Hence the correct option is b. only momentum is conserved.

b

Explanation:

This form of collision is called inelastic collision.

a small object of mass 3.66 g and charge -17.6 µc is suspended motionless above the ground when immersed in a uniform electric field perpendicular to the ground. what are the magnitude and direction of the electric field?

as a general rule, scissors have blades less than 6 in (15 cm) long and usually have handles with finger holes of the same size. shears have blades scissors used to cut hair or fabric must be much sharper.
