Answer: The momentum of the car is 16000 kg.m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Momentum is defined as the force that keeps the object moving. It is also defined as the product of mass and velocity of an object.

Mathematically,


p=m* v

where,

p = momentum of the car = ?

m = mass of the car = 800 kg

v = velocity of the car = 20 m/s

Putting values in above equation, we get:


p=800kg* 20m/s\\\\p=16000kg.m/s

Hence, the momentum of the car is 16000 kg.m/s
