Given:

Mass = 1.10 x 10^4 kg

Velocity = 25.0 m/s

Determine the momentum.

Formula for momentum:

p = mv

p = momentum

m  = mass

v = velocity

Solution:

Substitute the given values of m and v to the formula for momentum.

p = mv

p = (1.10x10^4)(25 m/s)

p = 275,000 kg. m/s

Final answer:
p = 275,000 kg. m/s
