Momentum is the quantity of motion that s matter contains. It is calculated by multiplying the mass and velocity of an object. It expressed as:

Momentum = mass x velocity

Using the expression above, we can obtain the velocity of the system.

3 kg m/s = 1 kg (velocity)
velocity = 3 m/s

Therefore, the correct answer is the last option.
