1. What is the momentum of a child and wagon if the total mass of the child and wagon is 22kg and the velocity is 1.5m/s?

The momentum (\( p \)) of an object is given by the formula:

\[
p = m \cdot v
\]

where:
- \( m \) is the mass of the object (in kg),
- \( v \) is the velocity of the object (in m/s).

### Given:
- Mass, \( m = 22 \, \text{kg} \)
- Velocity, \( v = 1.5 \, \text{m/s} \)

### Solution:
\[
p = 22 \, \text{kg} \times 1.5 \, \text{m/s} = 33 \, \text{kg} \cdot \text{m/s}
\]

### Answer:
The momentum of the child and wagon is \( 33 \, \text{kg} \cdot \text{m/s} \).

2. How is momentum affected if the mass is reduced by half?
3. If the wagon comes to a stop, what happens to the momentum?
4. How does momentum relate to kinetic energy?
5. What units are used to measure momentum, and why?

### Tip:
Momentum is a vector quantity, meaning it has both magnitude and direction.
