Answer:
<em>The distance covered by comet is </em>
Explanation:
Speed is defined as the rate of change of distance with time. It is given by the equation speed= 
Thus distance= 
In this problem it is given that speed of comet= 
time travelled by the comet= 4 hours
Thus distance=
= 
= 
Because a nuclear meltdown can be caused if systems fail.
Answer:
Momentum is given by
p
=
m
v
. Impulse is the change of momentum,
I
=
Δ
p
and is also equal to force times time:
I
=
F
t
. Rearranging,
F
=
I
t
=
Δ

Explanation:
Momentum before the collision is

Assuming the truck comes to a complete halt, the momentum after the collision is

The change in momentum,
Δ

This is called the impulse:
I
=
Δ
p
. Impulse is also equal (check the units) to force times time:
I
=
F
t
.
We can rearrange this expression to make

The negative sign just means the force acting is in the opposite direction to the initial momentum.
(This will be the average force acting during the collision: collisions are chaotic so the force is unlikely to be constant.)
No i took the test and the answer is actually homogenous mixture
