The momentum of an object is determined to be 7.2 × 10-3 kg • m/s. Express this quantity as provided or use any equivalent unit. (Note: 1 kg = 1000 g).

Answer 1

To express the momentum of an object in an equivalent unit, we can convert the kilogram into grams.

1 kg = 1000 g

Therefore, we can convert the given momentum by multiplying it by the conversion factor:

7.2 × 10^-3 kg • m/s * 1000 g/kg = 7.2 × 10^-3 * 1000 g • m/s

This yields:

7.2 kg • m/s = 7.2 × 10^3 g • m/s

So, the momentum of the object can also be expressed as 7.2 × 10^3 g • m/s.
