Recall that the formula for momentum is:

Question

P=mv

Which of the following correctly shows momentum being calculated?

Responses

45 N=(9 kg) (5 m/s)
45 N = ( 9 kg ) ( 5 m / s )

4 kg*m/s=(9 kg) (5 m/s)
4 kg * m / s = ( 9 kg ) ( 5 m / s )

14 kg*/s=(9 kg) (5 m/s)s
14 kg * / s = ( 9 kg ) ( 5 m / s ) s

45 kg*m/s=(9 kg) (5 m/s)

Answer 1

The correct calculation for momentum using the formula \( P = mv \) would be to multiply the mass (in kg) by the velocity (in m/s).

So, for \( m = 9 , \text{kg} \) and \( v = 5 , \text{m/s} \):

\[ P = (9 , \text{kg}) \times (5 , \text{m/s}) = 45 , \text{kg} \cdot \text{m/s} \]

Looking at the options you provided, the correct one is:

45 kg*m/s = (9 kg) (5 m/s)

This shows the correct calculation of momentum.
