Answer:

The speed of the vehicle was 21 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Momentum can be defined as mass in motion

Momentum depends on the variables mass and velocity

The momentum of an object is equal to the mass of the object times the

velocity of the object

The given is:

→ A Jeep Rubicon has a mass of 2,630 kg

→ With a momentum of 55,200 kg m/s

We need to find the speed of the vehicle

→ The momentum = mass × speed

Substitute the values above in the rule

→ 55,200 = 2,630 × speed

Divide both sides by 2,630

→ speed = 20.99 ≅ 21 m/s

The speed of the vehicle was 21 m/s
