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.

Can someone give me some tips of how to study. I have already tried writing everything in my lesson but it doesn't seem to work
larisa [96]
Highlighter, color coding sections that go together, flash cards, relaxing with someone while they read out questions ( this will help with testing anxiety too). If you get distracted easily use games to study or small sayings instead of the usual white and black sheet of paper.
