Answer:

10,000kgm/s

Explanation:

Since we not told what to look for, we can as well find the momentum of the car.

momentum = mas * velocity

Given

Mass of the car = 2000kg

velocity = 5m/s

Substitute into the formula

Momentum = 2000 * 5

Momentum = 10000kgm/s

Hence the momentum of the car is 10,000kgm/s
