A physical change in a substance doesn't change what the substance is. In a chemical change where there is a chemical reaction, a new substance is formed and energy is either given off or absorbed.

Impulse = (force) x (length of time the force lasts)
I see where you doodled (60)(40) over on the side, and you'll be delighted
to know that you're on the right track !
Here's the mind-blower, which I'll bet you never thought of:
On a force-time graph, impulse (also change in momentum)
is just the <em>area that's added under the graph during some time</em> !
From zero to 60, the impulse is just the area of that right triangle
under the graph. The base of the triangle is 60 seconds. The
height of the triangle is 40N . The area of the triangle is not
the whole (base x height), but only <em><u>1/2 </u></em>(base x height).
1/2 (base x height) = 1/2 (60s x 40N) = <u>1,200 newton-seconds</u>
<u>That's</u> the impulse during the first 60 seconds. It's also the change in
the car's momentum during the first 60 seconds.
Momentum = (mass) x (speed)
If the car wasn't moving at all when the graph began, then its momentum is 1,200 newton-sec after 60 seconds. Through the convenience of the SI system of units, 1,200 newton-sec is exactly the same thing as 1,200 kg-m/s . The car's mass is 3 kg, so after 60 sec, you can write
Momentum = M x V = (3 kg) x (speed) = 1,200 kg-m/s
and the car's speed falls right out of that.
From 60to 120 sec, the change in momentum is the added area of that
extra right triangle on top ... it's 60sec wide and only 20N high. Calculate
its area, that's the additional impulse in the 2nd minute, which is also the
increase in momentum, and that'll give you the change in speed.
No. A neutron star is the weird remains of a star that blew its outer layers off
in a nova event, and then had enough mass left so that gravity crushed its
electrons into its protons, and then what was left of it shrank down to a sphere
of unimaginably dense neutron soup. But it didn't have enough mass to go
any farther than that.
A black hole is the remains of a star that had enough mass to go even farther
than that. No force in the universe was able to stop it from contracting, so it
kept contracting until its mass occupied no volume ... zero. It became even
more weird, and is composed of a substance that we don't know anything about
and can't describe, and occupies zero volume.
Contrary to popular fairy tales, a black hole doesn't reach out and "suck things in".
It's just so small (zero) that things can get very close to it. You know that gravity
gets stronger as you get closer to an object, so if the object has no size at all, you
can get really really close to it, and THAT's where the gravity gets really strong.
You may weigh, let's say, 100 pounds on the Earth. But you're like 4,000 miles
from the center of the Earth. What if all of the earth's mass was crammed into
the size of a bean. Then you could get 1 inch from it, and at that distance from
the mass of the Earth, you would weigh 25,344,000,000 pounds.
But Earth's mass is not enough to make a black hole. That takes a minimum
of about 3 times the mass of the sun, which is right about 1 million times the
Earth's mass. THEN you can get a lightweight black hole.
Do you see how it works now ?
I know. It all seems too fantastic to be true.
It sure does.
It will move to the right and most likely a tiny bit down
