kg m/s

Step-by-step explanation

Momentum is defined as the amount of motion occurring in something that is moving, or the force that drives something forward to keep it movin, it is the product of the mass of a particle and its velocity


\begin{gathered} \rho=mv \\ where\text{ } \\ \rho\text{ is the momemtum } \\ m\text{ is the mass } \\ v\text{ is the velocity} \end{gathered}

on the SI systems the untis would be


\begin{gathered} mass\text{ \lparen kg\rparen} \\ velocity((m)/(s)) \end{gathered}

so, replacing


\begin{gathered} \rho= mv \\ \rho=kg*(m)/(s) \\ kg*(m)/(s) \end{gathered}

therefore, the answer is

kg m/s

I hope this helps you
