Momentum = Mass * Velocity

M = 100*3.5

M = 350

Answer: The momentum of the fullback is 350 kg.m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Momentum is defined as the force that keeps the object moving.

It is also defined as the product of mass and velocity of an object.

Mathematically,


p=m* v

where,

p = momentum of the fullback = ?

m = mass of the fullback = 100 kg

v = velocity of the fullback = 3.5 m/s

Putting values in above equation, we get:


p=100kg* 3.5m/s\\\\p=350kg.m/s

Hence, the momentum of the fullback is 350 kg.m/s
