If it were possible for an object to fall freely near the surface of the Earth,

-- The direction of its velocity would always be "down"; that is, toward the center of the Earth.

-- The size of its velocity would continually increase, at the rate of 9.8 meters per second for every second it falls.

Answer:

v= 4 m/s

Explanation:

Momenutm is, by definition, the product of mass and velocity.

$p = mv$

Let's replace what we know and solve for whatever's left

$100 kg\cdot m/s = 25kg \cdot v \rightarrow v= 4 m/s$
