Answer:

Momentum (P)= 3.15Kg.m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Because momentum by definition is the product of mass and velocity, therefore, it's calculated by the formula;

P=mv,,,

where 'P' Is the momentum

'm' is mass in Kilograms, note that mass should be in Kilograms, therefore the 450grams should be converted to kilograms by dividing it with a 1000, i.e (450g×1kg/1000g)= 0.45kg, and now you can substitute in the formula because you have everything you need to find momentum in the right si units.

so P=mv

P=0.45Kg×7m/s

P=3.15Kg.m/s
