The absence of external force in the outer space, allows the piece of rock to continue moving at the same velocity for thousands of years.
<h3>Absence of external force on the outer space</h3>
The outer space is almost an absolute vacuum, because it's nearly empty. There is no matter such as air in the outer space that will provide an external force needed to change the velocity of the piece of rock.
From Newton's first law of motion, an object in a state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line, will continue in that state unless it is acted upon by an external force.
Thus, the absence of external force in the outer space, allows the piece of rock to continue moving at the same velocity for thousands of years.

Explanation:
(a)
Critical angle is the angle at the angle of refraction is 90°. After the critical angle, no refraction takes place.
Using Snell's law as:
Where,
is the angle of incidence
is the angle of refraction = 90°
is the refractive index of the refraction medium
is the refractive index of the incidence medium
Thus,
The formula for the calculation of critical angle is:
Where,
is the critical angle
(b)
No it cannot occur. It only occur when the light ray bends away from the normal which means that when it travels from denser to rarer medium.
Answer:
(a) 62.69 nJ/m^3
(b) 1015.22 μJ/m^3
Explanation:
Electric field, E = 119 V/m
Magnetic field, B = 5.050 x 10^-5 T
(a) Energy density of electric field = 
= 6.269 x 10^-8 J/m^3 = 62.69 nJ/m^3
(b) energy density of magnetic field = 
= 1.01522 x 10^-3 J/m^3 = 1015.22 μJ/m^3
Sure. The acceleration may be decreasing, but as long as it stays
in the same direction as the velocity, the velocity increases.
I think you meant to ask whether the body can have increasing velocity
with negative acceleration. That answer isn't simple either.
If the body's velocity is in the positive direction, then positive acceleration
means speeding up, and negative acceleration means slowing down.
BUT ... If the body's velocity is in the negative direction, then positive
acceleration means slowing down, and negative acceleration means
speeding up.
I know that's confusing.
-- Take a piece of scratch paper, write a 'plus' sign at one edge and
a 'minus' sign at the other edge. Those are the definitions of which
direction is positive and which direction is negative.
-- Then sketch some cars ... one traveling in the positive direction, and
one driving in the negative direction. Those are the directions of the
velocities.
-- Now, one car at a time:
. . . . . first push on the back of the car, in the direction it's moving;.
. . . . . then push on the front of the car, against its motion.
Each push causes the car to accelerate in the direction of the push.
When you see it on paper, all the positive and negative velocities
and accelerations will come clear for you.
