Answer

The momentum of the automobile is $~~35,000~kg~m/s~~$ to the south

Work Step by Step

We can find the automobile's mass: $mg = 9800~N$ $m = \frac{9800~N}{9.80~m/s^2}$ $m = 1000~kg$ We can find the momentum of the automobile: $p = mv = (1000~kg)(35~m/s) = 35,000~kg~m/s$ (to the south) The momentum of the automobile is $~~35,000~kg~m/s~~$ to the south.
