To calculate the momentum of the hockey puck, you can use the formula:

\[ \text{Momentum} (p) = \text{mass} (m) \times \text{velocity} (v) \]

Given:

  • Mass (\(m\)) = 0.12 kg
  • Velocity (\(v\)) = 30 m/s

Now, substituting the values into the formula:

\[ p = 0.12 , \text{kg} \times 30 , \text{m/s} = 3.6 , \text{kg} \cdot \text{m/s} \]

So, the correct answer is:

3.6 kg*m/s
