A hockey puck with a mass of 0.12 kg is traveling across the ice at a velocity of 150 m/s downfield. What is the momentum of the hockey puck?(1 point)

Responses

P=8*10−4 kg*m/s
P = 8 * 10 - 4 kg * m / s

P=18 N
P = 18 N

P=18 kg*m/s
P = 18 kg * m / s

M=18 kg*m/s

The momentum (P) of an object can be calculated using the formula:

\[ P = m \times v \]

where:

  • \( m \) is the mass of the object (in kilograms),
  • \( v \) is the velocity of the object (in meters per second).

Given:

  • Mass \( m = 0.12 , \text{kg} \)
  • Velocity \( v = 150 , \text{m/s} \)

Now, substituting the values into the formula:

\[ P = 0.12 , \text{kg} \times 150 , \text{m/s} \] \[ P = 18 , \text{kg} \cdot \text{m/s} \]

Therefore, the momentum of the hockey puck is:

P = 18 kg*m/s
