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

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

To calculate momentum using the formula \( P = mv \), where \( m \) is mass and \( v \) is velocity, you simply multiply the mass (in kg) by the velocity (in m/s).

Given:

  • Mass \( m = 9 , \text{kg} \)
  • Velocity \( v = 5 , \text{m/s} \)

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

Thus, the correct expression for momentum is: \[ 45 , \text{kg} \cdot \text{m/s} = (9 , \text{kg}) \times (5 , \text{m/s}) \]

Therefore, the correct response is: 45 kg*m/s = (9 kg) (5 m/s).
