Momentum is given by

p = mv

where p is the momentum, m is the mass in kilograms and v is the velocity in metres per second.

So momentum p = 2,000 x 60 kg m/s
p = 120,000 kg m/s

This is very simple.

Momentum (p) = mass*velocity = 2000*60 = 120,000 kg*m/s

p=mv
momentum equals mass times velocity.
just plug in the numbers
2000x 60
