The equation for calculating the momentum of an object is given by:
[tex]\[ p = mv \][/tex]
where:
- [tex]\( p \)[/tex] is the momentum,
- [tex]\( m \)[/tex] is the mass of the object,
- [tex]\( v \)[/tex] is the velocity of the object.
From the answer options provided:
1. [tex]\( p = mv \)[/tex]
2. [tex]\( p = m + v \)[/tex]
3. [tex]\( v = mp \)[/tex]
4. [tex]\( p = m - v \)[/tex]
The correct equation for momentum is:
[tex]\[ p = mv \][/tex]
Therefore, the correct answer is:
[tex]\[ p = mv \][/tex]
