In 1920, a 6.5 × 104 kg meteorite was found in Africa. Suppose a meteorite with this mass enters Earth’s atmosphere with a speed of 1.0 km/s. What is the change in the meteorite’s momentum if an average constant force of −1.7 × 106 N acts on the meteorite for 30.0 s? How far does the meteorite travel during this time?
