Final answer:
The rate of change, or the change in the x-component of the momentum, is 0 in both intervals [0, 50 ms] and [50 ms, 100 ms].
Step-by-step explanation:
The rate of change, or the change in the x-component of the momentum, can be found by subtracting the initial value from the final value. In the given intervals, the initial point is [0, 0] and the final points are [50 ms, 0] and [100 ms, 0].
- Interval [0, 50 ms]: The change in the x-component of the momentum is 0 - 0 = 0.
- Interval [50 ms, 100 ms]: The change in the x-component of the momentum is 0 - 0 = 0.
