Answer:

215000kgm/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of the moving body = 5000kg

Velocity = 43m/s

Unknown:

Momentum = ?

Solution:

The momentum of a body is the amount of motion a body possess.

It is mathematically expressed as:

Momentum = mass x velocity

Now:

Momentum = 5000 x 43 = 215000kgm/s
