The momentum, p, of an object is represented by the formula p = mv, where m is the mass of the object and v is the velocity of the object. If p has units of kilograms·meters per second and m has units of kilograms, what must be the units of v?
A. meters
B. meters per second
C. seconds
D. meters per second squared

since p is given and m is also given we can cancel the kg out and find v
