Answer: 14,286 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Mass and velocity, have a positive correlation to momentum.

The formula to determine momentum is:

Momentum = Mass x Velocity

So, if we want to determine the mass of the object, the formula can be rearranged to look like this:

Momentum/Velocity = Mass

And can be solved by imputing the values given in the question:

Mass = (100 kg*m/s) ÷ (7 m/s)

Mass = 14,286 kg
