Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Do you mean 7 x 10⁻⁵² seconds? Who can even measure that small a time period?

If that time is incorrect, just redo the math with the correct time to get the force.

An impulse will cause a change of momentum

FΔt = mΔv

F = mΔv/Δt

F = 2(0 - 6)) / (7 x 10⁻⁵² - 0)

F = - 1.7 x 10⁵² N

The magnitude of that force would pretty much crush any rock it hit.
