To calculate the momentum of the cart, we can use the following formula:

\[ \text{Momentum} (p) = \text{mass} (m) \times \text{velocity} (v) \]

Given:

  • Mass (m) = 87 kg
  • Velocity (v) = 2.1 m/s

Now, substituting the values into the formula:

\[ p = 87 , \text{kg} \times 2.1 , \text{m/s} \]

Calculating:

\[ p = 182.7 , \text{kg m/s} \]

Thus, the momentum of the cart is:

182.7 kg m/s
