The momentum \( p \) of an object is calculated using the formula:

\[ p = m \cdot v \]

where \( m \) is the mass of the object and \( v \) is its velocity.

Given:

  • Mass \( m = 2 , \text{kg} \)
  • Velocity \( v = 3 , \text{m/s} \)

Now, substituting the values into the formula:

\[ p = 2 , \text{kg} \times 3 , \text{m/s} = 6 , \text{kg} \cdot \text{m/s} \]

Therefore, the magnitude of the momentum is 6.0 kg·m/s.

So the correct response is 6.0.
