To correctly show momentum being calculated according to the formula \( P = mv \), we need to ensure that the units are consistent and the calculations are accurate.
Given the following options, we can evaluate:
-
14 kg/s=(9 kg) (5 m/s)*: This equation is wrong both in units and calculation.
-
14 kg * / s = (9 kg) (5 m / s): This equation is also wrong due to the incorrect calculation.
-
45 kg*m/s=(9 kg) (5 m/s): Correct calculation and units. \( 9 , \text{kg} \times 5 , \text{m/s} = 45 , \text{kg*m/s} \).
-
45 kg * m / s = ( 9 kg ) ( 5 m / s): This is equivalent to option 3; incorrect formatting but correct calculation.
-
4 kg*m/s=(9 kg) (5 m/s): Incorrect calculation.
-
4 kg * m / s = ( 9 kg ) ( 5 m / s): Incorrect calculation.
-
45 N=(9 kg) (5 m/s): Incorrect unit (N stands for Newton, which is not appropriate here as we're calculating momentum).
Based on the above analysis, the correct option showing momentum being calculated is:
45 kg*m/s=(9 kg) (5 m/s).
