Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

Momentum of an object can be defined as the product of its mass and velocity at which it is travelling. With that in mind, momentum = 3*100=300(kg⋅m/s).

One thing to note is the units mentioned. The SI unit of momentum is kg * m/s as it is the product of mass(kilograms) and velocity(meter per second) and not Newton.
