Answer:

231000kgm/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of train car = 16500kg

Constant speed = 14m/s

Unknown:

Momentum of the car = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we must understand that the momentum of a body is the quantity of motion a body possess.

So;

Momentum = mass x velocity

Momentum = 16500 x 14 = 231000kgm/s
