To find Chente's velocity (v) in meters per second (m/s) during the collision, you can use the formula for momentum:

Momentum (p) = mass (m) * velocity (v)

Given that Chente's momentum (p) is 12 kg·m/s and his mass (m) is 300 kg, you can rearrange the formula to solve for velocity:

v = p / m

v = 12 kg·m/s / 300 kg

v = 0.04 m/s

So, Chente's velocity during the collision was 0.04 m/s.
