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(m)/(s))

Solving the operations:


p=1.728kg(m)/(s)

Therefore, the momentum is 1.728 kg m/s
