I will assume that big Joe is big Jim. The equation for the momentum is p=m*v, where m is the mass of the body and v is the velocity. Big Joe has a mass m=105 kg and speed v=5.2 m/s. When we input the numbers:

p=105*5.2=546 kg * (m/s).

So big Joe's momentum before the collision is p=546 kg * (m/s).
