Momentum is equal to mass multiplied by velocity.
Given:
Mass of child = 23 kg
Mass of bike = 5.5 kg
Common Velocity of child and bike = 5.3 m/s to northwest
Therefore: momentum of the child = (Mass of child)*Velocity
= 23*5.3 = 121.9 kg x m/s to northwest
And momentum of the bike = (Mass of bike)*Velocity = 5.5*5.3 = 29.15 kg x m/s to northwest
Momentum of bike and child = (Momentum of child) + (Momentum of bike)
= 121.9 + 29.15 = 151.05 kg x m/s to northwest
