Answer:

The answer is

40,000 kgm/s

Step-by-step explanation:

The momentum of an object when given it's mass and velocity can be found by using the formula

momentum = mass × velocity

From the question

mass = 2000 kg

velocity = 20 m/s

The momentum of the car is

momentum = 2000 × 20

We have the final answer as

40,000 kgm/s

Hope this helps you
