Momentum is the product of mass x velocity.

p = mv

Where: p = momentum
m = mass
v = velocity

Now you can answer your question by finding the momentum of each:

p = mv
p(w) = 12 x 5 = 60
p(x) = 15 x 8 = 120
p(y) = 18 x 2 = 36
p(z) = 28 x 10 = 280

With that you can now arrange them in ascending order (least to greatest):
Y < W < X < Z

Your answer is D.

<u>Answer: </u>

Cat has 2.02 seconds to right itself.

<u>Explanation: </u>

Initial height of cat from ground = 20 meter.

We have equation of motion , $s= ut+\frac{1}{2} at^2$ , s is the displacement, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and t is the time.

In this the velocity of cat in vertical direction = 0 m/s, acceleration = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 $m/s^2$ , we need to calculate time when s = 20 meter.
