Answer:

a car moving 1m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

momentum is the product of mass and velocity

mathematically:

p = m . v

the car has a greater momentum since it's product of mass times velocity is greater than the person's.

To do this just substitute your given values for the car and person to determine the answer
