Answer:

3.16kgm/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass = 770g

Velocity = 4.1m/s

Unknown:

Momentum of the car = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we use the equation below:

Momentum = mass x velocity

Convert the mass to kg;

770g to kg = 0.77kg

Now;

Momentum = 0.77 x 4.1 = 3.16kgm/s
