Nigel Conrad · Answer 1

First off, you need to review the formula for momentum:

Momentum = (mass) times (speed)

= (75 kg) x (18 m/s)

= 1,350 kg-m/s.

There it is. That's all there is to it.

Notice that you would have been sunk without knowing

the equation for momentum. It's pretty important. You

should memorize it. You'll need it again.
