Answer: 19500 kgm/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Mass of speedboat = 1,500 kg

Velocity = 13 m/s

speedboat’s momentum = ?

Recall that momentum is the product of the mass of an object by the velocity by which it moves.

i.e Momentum = Mass x velocity

= 1500kg x 13m/s

= 19500 kgm/s

Thus, the speedboat’s momentum is 19500 kgm/s
