Answer 1

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

\[
\text{Momentum} = \text{Mass} \times \text{Velocity}
\]

Given:
- Momentum = \(100 \, \text{kg} \cdot \text{m/s}\)
- Velocity = \(5 \, \text{m/s}\)

You can rearrange the formula to solve for mass:

\[
\text{Mass} = \frac{\text{Momentum}}{\text{Velocity}}
\]

Now, substituting the given values:

\[
\text{Mass} = \frac{100 \, \text{kg} \cdot \text{m/s}}{5 \, \text{m/s}} = 20 \, \text{kg}
\]

Therefore, the mass of the object is **20 kg**.
