This question involves the concepts of momentum, speed, and mass.

The momentum of the car is "24960 N.s".

MOMENTUM

Momentum is defined as the quantity of motion contained in a body. Mathematically, it is defined as the product of the mass and speed of the object:

P = mv

where,

  • P = momentum = ?
  • m = mass = 1600 kg
  • v = speed = 15.6 m/s

Therefore,

P = (1600 kg)(15.6 m/s)

P = 24960 N.s
