1.2 miles = 1,931 meters (rounded)

Momentum = M V

-- Momentum of the person = (37) x (1,931) = 71,447 kilogram-meters per second, south

-- Momentum of the bicycle = (18) x (1,931) = 35,758 kilogram-meters per second, south

-- Momentum of the package = (55) x (1,931) = 106,216.7 kg-m/sec , south

It must be mentioned that this is one heck of a lot of momentum . . . roughly

the same as a one-ton car has when it's driving 262 miles per hour !

That's because you have this 82-lb kid pedaling along on his bike at 4,320 mph . . .

roughly Mach 5.7 at sea level !

But the physics and math are bulletproof.

What is the momentum of a 37kg person riding south on an 18kg bicycle at 1.2 meters per sec?

Linear momentum is defined as mv, where m is the mass and v is the velocity. To get the mass, simply add up the 37kg person and the 18kg bicycle. This makes 55 kg total. We multiply this by 1.2 meters per second. This equals 66kgm/s(Kilogram meters per second).

How much momentum does and object have when it stops?

The Same! The statement above is true depending on what u mean. Think of it as a person running. While the person is running they have momentum ( momentum is mass times velocity). Now say they for some reason have to suddenly stop all at once, at the exact moment they stop the momentum is the same, this is why their body would jerk forward. However after that, when they were no longer moving, they would no longer have momentum, mathematically speaking that person's mass times their velocity of zero is then zero.
