Answer:

momentum= 145999324.8(kg(m/s))

Step-by-step explanation:

formula for momentum: p=mv

where p= momentum, m=mass, and v=velocity.

p=2000lbs(100mi/hr)

The standard unit for mass is kg

2000lbs=907.2kg

standard unit for velocity is meters/sec

100mi=160934meters.

907.2kg(160934m/s)=145999324.8
