A 2000 kg car is driving at 5 m/s on wet asphalt, but then makes a turn on some ice and loses control. The driver applies brakes and the rubber tires skid on the ice until the car comes to rest. Thankfully there was no crash.

Answer:

10,000kgm/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we not told what to look for, we can as well find the momentum of the car.

momentum = mas * velocity

Given

Mass of the car = 2000kg

velocity = 5m/s

Substitute into the formula

Momentum = 2000 * 5

Momentum = 10000kgm/s

Hence the momentum of the car is 10,000kgm/s
