Assume a comet is traveling at a constant velocity in deep space. Why would it speed up as it approaches our solar system?

D
The comet has no net force acting on it, which results in constant velocity. Near our solar system, the influence of the gravitational forces due to the sun and the planets will increase as we know that gravitational force is:
F = GMm/r²
The net force will produce an acceleration on the comet, which will cause its velocity to change.

astraxan [27]

The force that is pushing the crate up the ramp is competing with at least another two forces, those being G force= defines the attraction to the earth and Ff, the friction between the crate and the rough material of the ramp

Any Force can be defined by the weigh of a particular body and the acceleration

the kinetic friction indicative would be defined by the report between the active force and the friction force, considering G

So 5000-22%×5000=250× a

a=3900/250 m/s

If an object is moving, then the magnitude of its ____ cannot be zero.
Bad White [126]
If an object is moving, then its speed and the magnitude
of its velocity aren't zero. 

If its velocity is constant (speed doesn't change and it's
moving in a straight line), then its acceleration is zero.

Looks like choice-D sums it up nicely.
