Answer:
-150 kg m/s
Explanation:
The change of momentum is calculated as ;
Δp= m*Δv where
where
Δp= change in momentum
Δv = vf-vi
m= mass of the object
Change in momentum is also calculated when using the formula;
Δp = F * Δt when F is the net force applied and Δt is the time of action.
In this case;
m= 15 kg
vf= -10 m/s
vi= 0 m/s
Taking rightward direction to be positive, then leftward will be negative.
Applying the formula as;
Δp = m*Δv
Δp = 15 * { -10 -0} = 15*-10 = -150 kg m/s
