Momentum (p) is calculated using the formula:

\[ p = m \cdot v \]

where:

  • \( m \) is the mass (in kg),
  • \( v \) is the velocity (in m/s).

For the dog:

  • Mass (m) = 18 kg
  • Velocity (v) = 0.63 m/s

Now, substitute the values into the formula:

\[ p = 18 , \text{kg} \cdot 0.63 , \text{m/s} \] \[ p = 11.34 , \text{kg} \cdot \text{m/s} \]

Therefore, the momentum of the dog is 11.34 kg*m/s.

The correct response is:

11.34 kg*m/s
