The momentum of an object is given by:
[tex] p=mv [/tex]
where m is the object's mass and v its velocity.
In this problem, the mass of the canoe is m=38 kg, while its velocity is v=2.2 m/s. Therefore, if we substitute these numbers into the equation, we find the momentum of the canoe:
[tex] p=mv=(38 kg)(2.2 m/s)=83.6 kg m/s [/tex]
