Answer:

the momentum of the child is 337.5 kg.m/s

Explanation:

Given;

velocity of the wagon, v = 1.5 m/s

the combined mass of the child and the wagon, m = 225 kg

The momentum of the child is calculated as;

P = mv

substitute the given values of mass and velocity to determine the momentum,

P =  225 x 1.5

P = 337.5 kg.m/s

Therefore, the momentum of the child is 337.5 kg.m/s
