Answer : The momentum of 70 kg runner is, 700 kg.m/s

Explanation :

Momentum : It is defined as the motion of a moving body. Or it is defined as the product of mass of velocity of an object.

Formula of momentum is:


p=mv

where,

p = momentum = ?

m = mass = 70 kg

v = velocity = 10 m/s

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:


p=(70kg)* (10m/s)


p=700kg.m/s

Therefore, the momentum of 70 kg runner is, 700 kg.m/s
