See explanation.

Explanation:

Momentum is calculated as a vector with value equal to product of velocity (vv) and mass (mm) and direction equal to the direction of velocity vector.

vec(p)=m*vec(v)p=mv

Here the value is:

p=1/4*32=8 [kg*m/s]p=1432=8[kgms]

8 \ "kg m/s"

Explanation:

Momentum of an object is given by the equation:

p=mv

  • m is the mass of the object

  • v is the velocity of the object

So, plugging in our given values into the equation, we get:

p=1/4 \ "kg"*32 \ "m/s"

=8 \ "kg m/s"
