Answer:
10,000kgm/s
Explanation:
Since we not told what to look for, we can as well find the momentum of the car.
momentum = mas * velocity
Given
Mass of the car = 2000kg
velocity = 5m/s
Substitute into the formula
Momentum = 2000 * 5
Momentum = 10000kgm/s
Hence the momentum of the car is 10,000kgm/s
