Answer:

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.

if we ignore air resistance the mass of an object does not affect the rate at which it accelerate why?​
quester [9]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The acceleration due to gravity on an object is independent of the mass of the object. This is so because, the acceleration due to gravity depends only on the radius of the earth and the mass of the earth.

As a result of this, all objects are accelerated to the same extent and should reach the ground at the same time when released from a height as long as other forces other than gravity are not at work.

Braddy connected the loose wire to the battery and created an electromagnet. He picked up 45 thumb tacks with his electromagnet,
Katarina [22]

Answer:

C) Use two batteries instead of one.

Explanation:

-Strength of an electromagnet depends on the electrical current which flows through the wires.

-Two batteries have a higher current than one and thus higher strength in the electromagnet.

Two stones resembling diamonds are suspected of being fakes. To determine if the stones might be real, the mass and volume of ea
dimaraw [331]

Answer:

stone A is diamond.

Explanation:

given,

Volume of the two stone =  0.15 cm³

Mass of stone A = 0.52 g

Mass of stone B = 0.42 g

Density of the diamond =  3.5 g/cm³

So, to find which stone is gold we have to calculate the density of both the stone.

We know,

density\density = \dfrac{mass}{volume}

density of stone A

\rho_A = \dfrac{0.52}{0.15}

\rho_A = 3.467\ g/cm^3

density of stone B.

\rho_B = \dfrac{0.42}{0.15}

\rho_B = 2.8\ g/cm^3

Hence, the density of the stone A is the equal to Diamond then stone A is diamond.
