Answer: 50 kgm/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the

Mass M = 100kg

Velocity V = 0.5 m/s

Momentum can be defined as the product of mass and velocity. That is,

Momentum = MV

Substitute the values of M and V into the formula

Momentum = 100 × 0.5

Momentum = 50 kgm/s

Therefore, the magnitude of momentum is 50 kgm/s
