Momentum (p) is calculated using the formula:

\[ p = m \times v \]

where \( m \) is the mass and \( v \) is the velocity.

Given:

  • Mass \( m = 5 \) kg
  • Velocity \( v = 20 \) m/s

Now, substitute the values into the momentum formula:

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

Therefore, the momentum of the object is 100 kg⋅m/s.
