To determine the momentum of an object, you can use the formula:
[tex]\[ p = m \cdot v \][/tex]
where [tex]\( p \)[/tex] is the momentum, [tex]\( m \)[/tex] is the mass of the object, and [tex]\( v \)[/tex] is the velocity of the object.
Given:
- [tex]\( m = 5 \text{ kg} \)[/tex]
- [tex]\( v = 1.2 \text{ m/s} \)[/tex]
Let's substitute the given values into the formula:
[tex]\[ p = 5 \text{ kg} \cdot 1.2 \text{ m/s} \][/tex]
To calculate the momentum [tex]\( p \)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ p = 6.0 \text{ kg} \cdot \text{m/s} \][/tex]
Therefore, the momentum of the object is [tex]\( 6.0 \text{ kg} \cdot \text{m/s} \)[/tex].
The correct option is:
[tex]\[ \boxed{6.0 \text{ kg} \cdot \text{m/s}} \][/tex]
