Answer:

3000 kg meter per sec

Step-by-step explanation:

Momentum of an object refers the motion of an object. Momentum depends upon mass and velocity both.

Formula to calculate the momentum of any object is,

Momentum = Mass × Velocity

By substituting values of mass and velocity of the shark from the question,

Momentum of shark = 200 × 15

= 3000 kg meter per second

Therefore, shark weighing 200 kg has the momentum as 3000 kg meter per seconds.
