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.

A standing wave pattern is created on a string with mass density μ = 3.4 × 10-4 kg/m. A wave generator with frequency f = 61 Hz
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

1) λ = 0.413 m , 2)v = 25,213 m / s , 3)  T = 0.216 N , 4) m = 22.04 10-3 kg

Explanation:

1) The resonance occurs when the traveling wave bounces at the ends and the two waves are added, the ends as they are fixed have a node, the wavelength and the length of the string are related

         λ = 2L / n               n = 1, 2, 3 ...

In this case L = 0.62 m and n = 3

Let's calculate

        λ = 2 0.62 / 3

        λ = 0.413 m

2) the velocity related to wavelength and frequency

      v =  λ f

      v = 0.413 61

      v = 25,213 m / s

3) let's use the equation

     v = √T /μ

     T = v² μ

     T = 25,213² 3.4 10⁻⁴

     T = 0.216 N

4) the rope tension is proportional to the hanging weight

      T-W = 0

     T = W

    W = m g

    m = W / g

    m = 0.216 / 9.8

    m = 22.04 10-3 kg

5) n = 2

     λ = 2 0.62 / 2

     λ = 0.62 m

6) v =  λ f

     v = 0.62 61

     v = 37.82 m / s

7) T = v² μ

   T = 37.82² 3.4 10⁻⁴

   T = 0.486 N

8) m = W / g

   m = 0.486 / 9.8

   m = 49.62 10⁻³ kg

9) n = 1

    λ = 2 0.62

    λ = 1.24 m

    v = 1.24 61

    v = 75.64 m / s

    T = v² miu

    T = 75.64² 3.4 10⁻⁴

    T = 2.572 10⁻² N

    m = 2.572 10⁻² / 9.8

    m = 262.4 10⁻³ kg

How is electrolysis used in order to prevent materials from corrosion or rusting?​
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

We use electrolysis to prevent a material from rusting,

The metal forms a coating around the material and hence prevents any contact between the material and the environment

This process also gives us the physical strength of the material and the aesthetic properties of the coated metal

the metal commonly used to coat the object is Zinc and the process is called galvanisation
