ANSWER


285\operatorname{kg}\text{m/s}

Step-by-step explanation

To find the momentum of the rocket, we apply the formula:


p=mv

where m = mass; v = velocity

Therefore, we have that the momentum is:


\begin{gathered} p=15\cdot19 \\ p=285\operatorname{kg}\text{m/s} \end{gathered}

That is the momentum of the rocket.
