Answer:

1225kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameters:

Velocity of the car = 20m/s

Momentum = 24500kgm/s

Unknown:

Mass of the car = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we must understand that the momentum of a body is the quantity of motion that it possess.

So;

Momentum = mass x velocity

Mass of the car =
(Momentum )/(velocity) =
(24500)/(20) = 1225kg
