Answer: Option A, speed of light.

Explanation: As the object reaches the speed of light, the length of the object will contract, this is called the Lorentz contraction. Also, the object will experience the time slower than if it were at rest, so an observer and the object will experience the time in a different way, and because of this the "rate of time passage" changes, so we already discarded option B, C, and D.

Now, the speed of the light is invariant, it is the same in any system and is a "physical constant", so it would not change, then the correct option is A.

natita [175]

The impulse shared by the object equals the difference in momentum of the object. In equation form,

F • t = m • Δ v. In a collision, objects experience an impulse; the impulse causes and is equal to the difference in momentum.

<h3>How to calculate thrust provided by the rocket engines is 10 kN (10 000 N).?</h3>

a)There is this impulse-momentum change equation.

$where m$ is the mass of a body, $F$ is a force acting to the body, $t$ is time and $D E L A T A N\}=V_{2}-V_{1}$ is the change of velocity.We consider everything is happen along a straight line, and gravitation does not participate.So, the increase of momentum is $\mathrm{F}^{*} \mathrm{t}=10000 \mathrm{~N} * 60$ seconds $=600000 \mathrm{~N}^{*} \mathrm{~s}=600000\left(\mathrm{~kg}^{*} \mathrm{~m}\right)^{*} \mathrm{~s} / \mathrm{s}^{\wedge} 2=600000 \mathrm{~kg}{ }^{*} \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$.$
