To determine the momentum of a 5 kg object moving at a velocity of 1.2 m/s, we use the formula for momentum:
[tex]\[ \text{momentum} = \text{mass} \times \text{velocity} \][/tex]
Let's use the provided values:
- Mass ([tex]\( m \)[/tex]) = 5 kg
- Velocity ([tex]\( v \)[/tex]) = 1.2 m/s
Substituting the given values into the formula, we get:
[tex]\[ \text{momentum} = 5 \, \text{kg} \times 1.2 \, \text{m/s} \][/tex]
Performing the multiplication:
[tex]\[ \text{momentum} = 6.0 \, \text{kg} \cdot \text{m/s} \][/tex]
Therefore, the correct answer is:
[tex]\[ 6.0 \, \text{kg} \cdot \text{m/s} \][/tex]
