Explanation:
Let
= distance traveled while accelerating
= distance traveled while decelerating
The distance traveled while accelerating is given by



We need the velocity of the rocket after 30 seconds and we can calculate it as follows:

This will be the initial velocity when start calculating for the distance it traveled while decelerating.


Solving for
we get


Therefore, the total distance x is


The change in velocity (v₂ - v₁) is
<em> (-20) / (the object's mass)</em>.
Call it a crazy hunch, but I can't shake the feeling that there was more
to the question before the part you copied, that mentioned the object's
mass, and its velocity before this force came along.
I am not entirely sure but i believe the answer is C scupture

Answer
</u>
The impulse on the second trial is smaller is smaller than in the first trial.
<u>Explanation
</u>
Impose of a body is that change in momentum during a time interval. If the change of momentum takes longer then, the impulse of a force is less. I a moving object hits a hard surface the rate of change of momentum is very high. e.i in the first trial, the egg breaks because it hits the hard surface(ground).
In the second trial, the foam cushion absorbs the shock and prolongs the time of impact with the egg hence decreasing the impulse.
