0 point 2 5 kilograms times meters per second

25 kg⋅m/s
25 kilograms times meters per second

100 kg⋅m/s
100 kilograms times meters per second

4 kg⋅m/s
4 kilograms times meters per second

Answer 1

To calculate the momentum (p) of an object, you can use the formula:

\[ p = m \times v \]

where:
- \( m \) is the mass of the object,
- \( v \) is the velocity of the object.

In this case, the mass \( m = 5 \, \text{kg} \) and the velocity \( v = 20 \, \text{m/s} \).

Now, plug in the values:

\[ p = 5 \, \text{kg} \times 20 \, \text{m/s} = 100 \, \text{kg} \cdot \text{m/s} \]

So, the momentum of the object is **100 kg⋅m/s**.
