Answer:

A: The mass would be 250kg

Step-by-step explanation:

In terms of an equation, the momentum of an object is equal to the mass of the object times the velocity of the object. where m is the mass and v is the velocity. The equation illustrates that momentum is directly proportional to an object's mass and directly proportional to the object's velocity.

p= mv

m= p/ v

The explanation to that is:

momentum = mass× velocity

mass= momentum / velocity

THE ANSWER IS A

Hope this helps!
