#"30 kg m/s"#

#"Momentum = Mass × Velocity = 10 kg × 3 m/s = 30 kg m/s"#

Its momentum is #30 \ "kg m/s"#.

Momentum is defined by the following equation:

#p=mv#

where #m# is the mass of the object in kilograms, #v# is the velocity of the object in meters per second

So, we got:

#p=10 \ "kg"*3 \ "m/s"#

#=30 \ "kg m/s"#
