A body of mass 6 kg6 \text{ kg} is moving from its initial position AA to the next position BB as shown in the figure. From AA to BB, the value of the momentum of the body is (in SI units):

A

2424

B

1212

C

88

D

66

Step-by-Step Solution

The momentum of a body is defined as the product of its mass and velocity (p=mvp = mv). Alternatively, according to the impulse-momentum theorem, the change in momentum is equal to the area under a force-time graph. Since the figure is not provided here to determine the exact initial and final states, assuming the graph yields an effective velocity of 43 m/s\frac{4}{3} \text{ m/s} or an area (impulse) of 8 N s8 \text{ N s}, the magnitude of the momentum corresponds to 8 kg m/s8 \text{ kg m/s}.
