Kasey Griffith · Answer 1

The boy's momentum = 80kgm/s

Explanation:

Momentum (P) = mass x velocity

Where, velocity (speed) = 2m/s

Mass of the boy=40Kg

Momentum (P) = (40kg) x (2m/s) = 80kgm/s.

Amy Bell · Answer 2

Answer: p = 80 kg. m/s

Explanation: Momentum is expressed as the product of mass and velocity.

p = mv

= 40 kg (2 m/s)

= 80 kg. m/s
