Answer:


\boxed {\tt 3.63636364 \ m/s}

Step-by-step explanation:

Velocity can be found using the following formula:


v=(p)/(m)

where p is the momentum and m is the mass.

The woman has a mass of 55 kilograms and a momentum of 200 kilogram meters per second.


p= 200 \ kgm/s\\m=55 \ kg

Substitute the values into the formula.


v=(200 \ kg m/s)/(55 \ kg)

Divide. Note that the kilograms, or kg, will cancel each other out.


v=(200 \ m/s)/(55)


v= 3.63636364 \ m/s

The woman's velocity is 3.63636364 meters per second.
