Given,

The mass of the turkey, m=9 kg

The velocity of the turkey, v=5 m/s

The momentum of a body is given by the product of the mass of the body and its velocity.

Thus the momentum of the turkey is given by,


p=mv

On substituting the known values,


p=9*5=45\text{ kg}\cdot(m)/(s)

Thus, the momentum of the turkey is 45 kg·m/s
