Answer:

The momentum will be 35000 kgm/s

Step-by-step explanation:

In Newtonian mechanics, momentum is the product of the mass and velocity of an object. It is a vector quantity, possessing a magnitude and a direction in three-dimensional space.

Mathematically it is written as

P = m*v

Since we have

m = 1400kg

v = 25m/s

So Momentum is

P = 1400 * 25 = 35000 kgm/s

Hello

The answer is:


35000Kg.(m)/(s)=35000N

Why?

Momentum is the quantity of movement of an object, and it's calculated using the mass and the velocity of the object. Momentum is expressed by the following formula:


p=m*v

Where:


m=mass\\v=velocity

So, calculating we have:


p=m*v=1400Kg*(25m)/(s)=35000Kg.(m)/(s)=35000N

Remember,


1N=1Kg.(m)/(s)

Have a nice day!
