Answer: 11.97 kg m/s

Explanation: The formula for momentum is P = mv and since we are given the mass and the velocity of the bullet, w are basically all set.

Since kilograms is the standard unit for mass, we can

convert 22.5 g to kilograms to get 0.0225 kg by dividing by 1,000.

So we have P = (0.0225 kg)(532 m/s) and this gives us 11.97 kg m/s.
