Answer 1

We are asked to determine the momentum of an object. To do that we will use the following formula:

$p=mv$

Where:

$\begin{gathered} p=\text{ momentum} \\ m=\text{ mass} \\ v=\text{ velocity} \end{gathered}$

Now, we substitute the values:

$p=(0.36kg)(4.8\frac{m}{s})$

Solving the operations:

$p=1.728kg\frac{m}{s}$

Therefore, the momentum is 1.728 kg m/s
