Momentum is mass times velocity (MxV).
Mass is in kg and velocity is in m/s.
This means that the answer should read kg x m/s.
This is not equivalent to newtons which is kg x m/s^2.

Are momentum and impulse measured in the same units?
Yes. You can think of an impulse as of a transfer of momentum.
What do you measure to find an objects inertia?
Inertia in physics is generally defined as resistance to change in velocity and it is measured as a change in momentum. (p is momentum, so change in momentum would be Δp, measured as Δp = m*Δv)
What is a property of momentum?
Momentum is defined as the quantity of motion of a moving body, measured as a product of its mass and velocity. It is a conserved quantity and within an isolated system the total momentum is constant.
What is the unit of momentum?
Momentum is measured in kilograms per metre per second (kgms^-1)
How will you describe momentum?
Momentum is the speed or velocity of a moving object. It can be measured by either force of impact or air/water displaced during movement.

What is a measured of inertia?
tendency to maintain momentum!!!!!!!!

A feather with no on it maintains constant velocity?
A feather with no momentum maintains constant velocity. Momentum is defined as the quantity of motion of a moving body, measured as a product of its mass and velocity.
Which has more momentum heavy truck light truck or do they both have the same momentum?
A truck that is more massive with the same velocity as the truck that is less massive will definitely have more momentum. This is illustrated in the equation for momentum:p = mvWhere p is momentum which is measured in Newton seconds, m is mass which is measured in kilograms, and v is velocity, measured in meters per second. If you plug in a larger mass for that same equivalent velocity, it will accordingly have more momentum.Also, if you just think about it, what would be harder to move: something with more mass or something with less mass?
What is the momentum in kg-m?
Momentum is actually measured in kilograms x meters/second, since it is the product of a mass and a speed. Momentum can be thought of as the "amount of motion", and it is a physical quantity that is conserved under all circumstances, as far as we know.
Why is angular momentum NOT measured in kg m2 rad s-1?
For the same reason it's not measured in buckets of rotten fish: because those would not be the correct units. Angular momentum is the cross product of the linear momentum and the position vector relative to the center of rotation. If you do a dimensional analysis, you'll see that the proper units are joule-seconds.
What momentum and position can't be measured at the same time?
The position and momentum of any sub-atomic particle cannot be measured at the same time due to the Heisenberg uncertainty principle. Simply put, it states that the more we know about one of the two properties, the less we know about the other.
Is the SI unit of momentum?
In physics, momentum is a special property of an object in relative motion that describes the force of its motion. Momentum is the mass multiplied by the speed so in the SI system momentum is measured in Kg*m/s. It can be thought of as the force of an objects motion. Conversely, it can be though of as an objects resistance to change in motion.
