Answer:

0kgm/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of the passenger = 48.5kg

Unknown:

Momentum = ?

Solution:

The momentum of a body is the quantity of motion a body possesses. A body not in motion has no momentum.

Mathematically;

Momentum = mass x velocity

So;

Since the train is stopped, velocity = 0m/s

Momentum = 48.5 x 0 = 0kgm/s
