Answer (3)

75 kg × 5 m/sec = 375 kgm/s
Hope this helps :)

Answer : The momentum is, 357 kg.m/s
Explanation :
Momentum : It is defined as the motion of a moving body. Or it is defined as the product of mass of velocity of an object.
Formula of momentum is:
p = m v
where,
p = momentum
m = mass = 75.0 kg
v = velocity = 5.00 m/s
Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:
p = 75.00 k g × ( 5.00 m / s ) = 357 k g . m / s
Therefore. the momentum is, 357 kg.m/s

The momentum of a 75.0-kilogram defensive back running at 5.00 m/s is calculated to be 375.0 kg.m/s. Momentum is determined by mass and velocity, and it is a vector quantity with direction. Understanding momentum helps explain the motion of objects in sport and physical interactions.
