Answer:


p=13330kg*(m)/(2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, since the momentum of any body is calculated by multiplying the mass and the velocity:


p=m*v

We simply need to multiply the 215 kg of the motorcycle by the velocity it has, 62 m/s to obtain:


p=215kg*62m/s\\\\p=13330kg*(m)/(2)
