Well,siince the equation is p=mv and she already has the velocity (v) now she just needs the mass (m).

Momentum (P) is a vector quantity which is a result of multiplying the object's velocity (v) to its mass (m).

P = mv

If Anya knows the velocity then, she also needs to know the object's mass. The answer is mass.
