Answer:

P = 6*5 = 30 [kg*m/s]

Step-by-step explanation:

in order to solve this problem, we must remember that linear momentum is defined as the product of mass by Velocity. This way you can calculate the momentum using the following equation.

P = m*v

where:

P = lineal momentum [kg*m/s]

m = mass = 6 [kg]

v = velocity = 5 [m/s]

P = m*v

P = 6*5 = 30 [kg*m/s]
