Answer:

Momentum(P) = 1336kgm/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Momentum is the product of the mass and velocity, therefore Momentum(P) is = mass*velocity. since the mass is given 800kg, all we are left with is the displacement 500m and the time 300s which can be used to find the velocity. so velocity is the displacement divided by the time, ie 500/300 which will give us the velocity 1.67m\s. hence we multiply the mass and the velocity and we'll get 1336kgm/s.
