To calculate the momentum of the soccer ball, you can use the formula for momentum:
\[ \text{Momentum} (p) = \text{mass} (m) \times \text{velocity} (v) \]
Given:
- Mass \( m = 0.45 , \text{kg} \)
- Velocity \( v = 8 , \text{m/s} \)
Now, plug in the values:
\[ p = 0.45 , \text{kg} \times 8 , \text{m/s} = 3.6 , \text{kg} \cdot \text{m/s} \]
Based on the options provided:
- 3.8 N (Not correct)
- 7.6 N (Not correct)
- 4.5 N (Not correct)
- 3.6 N (Correct)
The correct answer is 3.6 N (or more correctly, 3.6 kg·m/s if you are speaking of momentum, but in the context of the options provided, it seems they are asking in terms of Newtons which is not standard for momentum) .
