To calculate the momentum of the bullet, you can use the formula for momentum:
\[
\text{Momentum} (p) = \text{mass} (m) \times \text{velocity} (v)
\]
In this case, the mass \(m\) is 25 g and the velocity \(v\) is 200 cm/s.
First, let's perform the calculation:
\[
p = 25 \, \text{g} \times 200 \, \text{cm/s} = 5000 \, \text{g cm/s}
\]
Thus, the momentum of the bullet is \(5000 \, \text{g cm/s}\).
The correct answer is (a) 5000 g cm/s.
