Answer:


Momentum(p) = 20kgm/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Mass = 10kg

Velocity = 2m/s

Required

Calculate the momentum of the man

Momentum is calculated as thus


Momentum(p) = Mass(m) * Velocity(v)

or


p = mv

So; to solve this question; we simply substitute 10kg for mass and 2m/s for velocity in the above formula;

The formula becomes


Momentum(p) = 10kg * 2m/s


Momentum(p) = 10 * 2 * kg * m/s


Momentum(p) = 20kgm/s

Hence, the momentum of the man is
20kgm/s
