Your question is not complete, please let me assume this to be your complete question:

Lucy is cruising through space in her new spaceship. As she coasts along, a spacebug drifts into her path and bounces off the window. Consider several statements concerning this scenario. Evaluate each statement according to the law of momentum conservation and match it to the appropriate category.

Below are several statements concerning this scenario. Evaluate each statement and decide if it is true, false, or undetermined by the principle of momentum conservation.

i) The total change in momentum for this interaction is zero.

ii) The change in the space bug's momentum is greater than the change in the spaceship's momentum.

iii) If the space bug had stuck to the spaceship instead of bouncing off, momentum would not have been conserved for this interaction.

Answer:

I is true

II is false

III is undetermined

Explanation:

STATEMENT I : This statement is TRUE because because they was no change in velocity and mass of the spaceship and spacebug, after the collision, as the bug bounced outside the window and the spaceship retains it's velocity. Therefore the total momentum in the system before the collision, is equal to the total momentum of the system after the collision.

Where;

momentum = Mass × velocity

M1V1 = M2V2

Therefore;

M2V2 - M1V1 = 0

STATEMENT II : This statement is FALSE, because the change in the momentum of the spaceship and bug are equal, as the spaceship and bug remains in constant motion after collision. The collision did not have any effect in their velocity nor mass.

Ps = Pb

Ps = Momentum of spaceship

Pb = Momentum of spacebug

STATEMENT III : The statement is UNDETERMINE, because it will depend on the momentum we are considering. If the spaceship is still in constant motion, that means moment of the spaceship is conserved, while that of the spacebug is not conserved.

Which is part of an AC generator?

There is no such thing as an AC Generator, if its a generator, its DC. I think you are talking about an AC Alternator, in which case the answer would be -wrong answer, deleted-

A cheetah can accelerate from rest at the rate of 4m /s
lesya [120]
Acceleration of cheetah (a) = 4m/s²
time = 10s
initial velocity(u) = 0
final velocity = v
distance travelled = s

v = u +at = 0 + 10×4 = 40m/s
s = (v²-u²)/2a = 40²/(2×4) = 1600/8 = 200m

What happens to the wavelength of a wave if you increase the frequency?
dezoksy [38]

The product of (wavelength) times (frequency) is always the same number ...
the speed of the wave in whatever material it's traveling through.  So if the
frequency is increased, then the wavelength must <em><u>de</u></em>crease by the same
factor, in order to keep the product the same.

Two open organ pipes, sounding together, produce a beat frequency of 8.0 Hz . The shorter one is 2.08 m long. How long is the ot
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

The length of the longer pipe is L = 2.30 m

Explanation:

Given that:

Two open organ pipes, sounding together, produce a beat frequency of 8.0 Hz . The shorter one is 2.08 m long.

How long is the other pipe?

From above;

The formula for the frequency of open ended pipes can be expressed as:

f = \dfrac{nv}{2L}

where n = 1 ( since half wavelength exist between those two pipes)

v = 343 m/s  and L = 2.08 m

Thus, the shorter pipe produces a frequency of :

f = \dfrac{1*343}{2*2.08}

f = \dfrac{343}{4.16}

f =82.45 \ Hz

Also; we know that the beat frequency was given as 8.0 Hz

Then,

The lower frequency of the longer pipe = ( 82.45 - 8.0 )Hz

The lower frequency of the longer pipe = 74.45 Hz

Finally;

From the above equation; make Length L the subject of the formula. Then,

The length of the longer pipe is L = \dfrac{nv}{2f}

The length of the longer pipe is L = \dfrac{1*343}{2*74.45}

The length of the longer pipe is L = \dfrac{343}{148.9}

The length of the longer pipe is L = 2.30 m
