select the best answer for the question.

1. a person with a mass of 15 kg is walking on a flat surface at a velocity of 5 m/s. whats the walkers momentum?

○ a. 3 kg-m/s
○ b. 0.3 kg-m/s
○ c. 75 kg-m/s
○ d. 20 kg-m/s

□ mark for review (will be highlighted on the review page)

Explanation:

Step1: Recall momentum formula

The formula for momentum \( p \) is \( p = m \times v \), where \( m \) is mass and \( v \) is velocity.

Step2: Substitute values

Given \( m = 15 \, \text{kg} \) and \( v = 5 \, \text{m/s} \), substitute into the formula: \( p = 15 \times 5 \).

Step3: Calculate the result

\( 15 \times 5 = 75 \, \text{kg - m/s} \).

Answer:

C. 75 kg - m/s
