Answer:

7000 kg*m/s E

Step-by-step explanation:

Momentum formula: p=mv

m=200kg

v=35 m/s East

p=(200kg)(35m/s E)

m=7000 kg*m/s E

If you want to simplify it further, m=7*10^3 kg*m/s E

Answer:


\boxed {\boxed {\sf 7000 \ kg*m/s \ E}}

Step-by-step explanation:

Momentum is the product of mass and velocity.


p=m*v

The mass is 200 kilograms and the velocity is 35 meters per second east.


m= 200 \ kg \\v= 35 \ m/s \ E

Substitute the values into the formula.


p= 200 \ kg * 35 \ m/s \ E

Multiply.


p= 7000 \ kg * m/s \ E

The rhino has 7000 kg*m/s E of momentum.
