Question

What is the SI unit for momentum?

kg • m
kg • meters per second
kg • meters squared per second
kg • meters per second squared

Answer 1

Kg . Meter per second (Kg.m/s)

Answer 2

Answer : The S.I unit of momentum is, kg • meters per second

Explanation :

Momentum : It is defined as the motion of a moving body. Or it is defined as the product of mass of velocity of an object.

Formula of momentum is:

`p=mv`

where,

p = momentum

m = mass

v = velocity

The unit of mass of kilogram (kg) and the unit of velocity is meter per second (m/s).

Thus, the unit of momentum will be:

`p=mv=kg* (m/s)=kg.m/s`

Thus, the S.I unit of momentum is, kg • meters per second
