Answer:

see the explanation below

Step-by-step explanation:

Momentum is a product of the mass of a particle and its velocity.

and also, momentum is a vector quantity; i.e. it has both magnitude and direction.

Now a plane in the air has both magnitude and velocity

When the plane lands the velocity will amount to zero although the mass is still very much intact

Now the mass* zero velocity= zero

Hence when a plane lands the momentum is zero
