Answer:

The answer is 2 kgm/s.

Step-by-step explanation:

We see that Impulse = FT = mv but in this case..

we have only a force and time which, of course happens to be the Impulse and NOT the momentum.

I = FT = P

(4)(0.5)

= 2 kgm/s or Ns?

Well the answer in fact is 2 kgm/s.

That is in fact the CORRECT answer not that it can not be identified. It can and is 2 kgm/s since we are talking about Momentum
