Understanding Momentum

Momentum is a measure of an object's mass in motion. It's calculated using the following formula:

* Momentum (p) = mass (m) × velocity (v)

Applying the Formula

* Mass (m): 35 kg

* Velocity (v): 500 m/s

Calculation

* p = 35 kg × 500 m/s

* p = 17500 kg·m/s

Answer

The momentum of the shell is 17,500 kg·m/s.
