ANSWER

$285\operatorname{kg}\text{m/s}$

Step-by-step explanation

To find the momentum of the rocket, we apply the formula:

where m = mass; v = velocity

Therefore, we have that the momentum is:

$\begin{gathered} p=15\cdot19 \\ p=285\operatorname{kg}\text{m/s} \end{gathered}$

That is the momentum of the rocket.
