    |Momentum| = (mass) x (speed)

    225 kg-m/s = (50kg) x (speed)

    Divide each side by (50kg) : Speed = (225 kg-m/s) / (50 kg) = 4.5 m/s.

    Regarding the velocity, nothing can be said other than the speed, because

    we have no information regarding the direction of the object's motion.

    225/50=4.5

    because if u look at the units, the kg will be cancelled out if u divide the momentum by mass, leaving you with m/s
