Answer:

The momentum of the car = 12978.9 kgm/s

Step-by-step explanation:

The mass of the car, m = 1881 kg

The speed, v = 6.9 m/s

The momentum, ρ, is given by the formula:

ρ = mv

Substitute m = 1881, v = 6.9 into the formula

ρ = 1881 x 6.9

ρ = 12978.9 kgm/s

The momentum of the car = 12978.9 kgm/s
