Final answer:

The momentum of an object with a mass of 6.6 kg traveling at a velocity of 3 m/s is 19.8 kg·m/s.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the momentum of an object, you can use the momentum formula which is \( p = mv \), where \( p \) is momentum, \( m \) is mass, and \( v \) is velocity. In this case, we have an object with a mass of 6.6n (which I assume you meant Newtons, but since momentum requires mass, I'll use kilograms) and a velocity of 3 m/s. The metric unit of ​momentum is kilogram meters per second (kg·m/s).

Now, 'n' isn't a conventional sign for mass; typically, mass is represented in kilograms (kg). Since your question likely contains a typo, and you mean '6.6 kg', let's proceed with that assumption. To find momentum for an object with a mass of 6.6 kg traveling at 3 m/s, the calculation is:

\( p = 6.6 \, \text{kg} \times 3 \, \text{m/s} \)

\( p = 19.8 \, \text{kg} \cdot \text{m/s} \)

Therefore, the momentum of the object is 19.8 kg·m/s.
