Answer:

80 kgm/s

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given;

  • Mass of the Canoe is 32 kg
  • Speed of the Canoe is 2.5 m/s

We are required to calculate the momentum of the Canoe?

  • We need to know that momentum is the product of mass of an object and its speed.
  • Therefore;

Momentum = Mass × speed

Therefore;

Momentum = 32 kg × 2.5 m/s

= 80 Kgm/s

Thus, the momentum of the Canoe is 80 kgm/s.
