Best Answer

Momentum is the product of mass times velocity, so in SI units, the units are kilograms x meters / second. There is no special name for this unit.

What is the angular momentum of a photon?

The "intrinsic angular momentum" of particles is commonly called "spin". The spin of a photon is 1, in the units commonly used.


What is the standard unit of momemtum and impulse?

The units for impulse are kg.m/s. This is because impulse= (final momentum) -(initial momentum) and the units for momentum are kg.m/s.


What does not have the same units as the others Kinetic Energy Momentum Potential Energy or Work?

momentum


Are momentum and impulse measured in the same units?

Yes. You can think of an impulse as of a transfer of momentum.


What are the units for momentum?

The formula for momentum is (mass)*(velocity), so the SI units would bekg m sec-1 or kg-m/sec


Is momentum the same as force yes or no?

It is not, and it doesn't even have the same units. Momentum has the units of force x time (or equivalently, mass x velocity).


What is the momentum of two coupled toy cars that both have a mass of 0.04?

If they are coupled together and have the same velocity v, then the momentum is 0.08v, with units that depend on what units your mass has.


What is momentam?

The moment of linear momentum is called angular momentum. or The vector product of position vector and linear momentum is called angular momentum.


What is a example of a momentum of zero?

An object at rest. Actually that's the only possible example for a single object. For two objects, you can have objects moving in opposite directions; for example, one may have a momentum of +100 units, and the other, a momentum of -100 units.


Different standard units of force and momentum and impulse?

Force = mass x acceleration = kg(m/s^2) or N Momentum = mass x change in velocity = kg(m/s) or Ns The units of impulse are the same as momentum's because impulse is just the change in momentum.
