Answer: Bernie's momentum as he leaves the ski jump 1,470 kg m/s.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mass of the Bernie's body = 70 kg

Velocity with which Bernie left for the ski jump = 21 m/s

Momentum of the Bernie :


Momentum=Mass* Velocity=70 kg* 21/ms=1,470 kg m/s

Bernie's momentum as he leaves the ski jump 1,470 kg m/s.
