$35000 N$ $35000 N$

Explanation:

The equation for momentum is
$p = m v$ $p=mv$

Where:
$p =$ $p=$ momentum
$m =$ $m=$ mass of object in kg
$v =$ $v=$ velocity of object

By simply plugging in the numbers into the equation:
$1000 k g \times 35 \frac{m}{s}$ $1000kg xx 35m/s$
You get
$= 35000 k g \frac{m}{s}$ $=35000 kg m/s$ or $35000 N$ $35000N$

[Do take note that $1$ $1$ Newton is the same as $1 k g \frac{m}{s}$ $1kg m/s$ ]
