Lucy is cruising through space in her new spaceship. As she coasts along, a tiny 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. Question 3 of 4>Answer BankThe final momentum of the spaceship is less than the final momentum of the spacebug.The initial momentum of the spaceship is less than the initial momentum of the spacebug.The total change in momentum for this interaction is zero.The change in the spacebug's momentum during the collision is greater than the change in the spaceship's momentum.If the spacebug had stuck to the spaceship instead of bouncing off, momentum would not have been conserved for this interaction.The total momentum of the spaceship and spacebug before the collision is equal to their total momentum afterward.
