To calculate the mass of an object, you can use the formula for momentum:

momentum = mass * velocity

Given that the velocity is 5 m/s and the momentum is 100 kg⋅m/s, we can substitute these values into the equation:

100 kg⋅m/s = mass * 5 m/s

To solve for mass, we divide both sides of the equation by 5 m/s:

mass = 100 kg⋅m/s / 5 m/s

mass = 20 kg

Therefore, the mass of the object is 20 kg.
