Solution

Step 1. Given data:
mass $(m)$ = $0.5 k g$
speed $(v)$ = $10 \frac{m}{s}$
Step 2. Calculations:
Momentum:
It is a property of a moving body that the body acquires due to its mass and motion.
It is equal to the product of the body's mass and speed.
Mathematically: Momentum $(p)$ =mass $(m) \times$ speed $(v)$
So Momentum = mass x speed
$p = (0.5 \times 10) = 5 k g . \frac{m}{s}$ .
Hence momentum of the body will be $5 k g . \frac{m}{s}$
