Answer:

m = 3.75 [kg]

Step-by-step explanation:

We must remember that momentum is defined as the product of mass by Velocity, therefore it can be represented by means of the following equation.


P=m*v

where:

P = momentum = 93.75 [kg*m/s]

m = mass [kg]

v = velocity = 25 [m/s]

Now replacing, we can clear the mass:


P=m*v\\m=P/v\\m=93.75/25\\m=3.75 [kg]
