momentum = mass * velocity
momentum = (30kg) (500m/s)
momentum = 15,000kgm/s

I can't give you a value for momentum in kg, any more than I can give you a value for distance in square meters. The units of momentum are
kg*m/s and it is a vector quantity (since v is a vector). In your problem, the momentum is
15,000 kg*m/s

the formula to calculate momentum is to multiply the mass of the object with the velocity in which its moving
in this case it is 30kg x 500 m/s = 15,000 kg m/s

the units of momentum are in kg.m/s (in m.k.s system).
the momentum cannot be expressed in kg alone.
the momentum is the product of mass and velocity.
thus, momentum= 30.0 *500 =15000 kg.m/s

p=m*v; m=mass; v=velocity; p=momentum
p=30 kg * 500 m/s
p=15000 (kg*m)/s
