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.

So an appropriate SI unit would be [ kilogram-meter/second ] .

What are the units of momentum called?
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 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
What is Linear momentum measured in?
Linear momentum of an object is its mass times its velocity. Since momentum does not have a unit name of its own its units are whatever you use for mass & velocity. The SI units would be Kg-M/S . The cgs units would be gm-cm/S , and the English units would be Slug-Ft/S . It can also be expressed in terms of force units. SI: Newton-Sec. , Cgs :dyne-Sec, English: Pound-Sec.
What is the unit of measuement for momentum?
Momentum is defined as mass x velocity, so the SI units are kilograms x meters / seconds. There is no commonly-used special name for this unit.
What is si base unit for momentum?
The SI unit of Momentum is kilogram meters per second --> (kg*m)/s
What is momentum and state its SI unit?
Momentum is mass * velocity. Its units, in the SI system are kilogram metre per second

What is the unit for measuring foece?
In SI units, that would be the Newton.In SI units, that would be the Newton.In SI units, that would be the Newton.In SI units, that would be the Newton.
What is si base unit for momentum?
The SI unit of Momentum is kilogram meters per second --> (kg*m)/s
What are the units associated with mass x velocity?
Momentum is defined as mass times velocity, and it requires units of mass times units of velocity. The SI unit is kilograms x meters / second. There is no special name for this combination of units. Impulse (force times time) has the same units.
If you are given the mass of an object in pounds the time in seconds and the distance in feet what must you do before you can calculate the momentum in SI units?
if you are given the mass of an object in pounds
M omentum is expressed in units of?
Momentum is defined as mass times velocity, and it requires units of mass times units of velocity. The SI unit is kilograms x meters / second. There is no special name for this combination of units.
When SI units combine what do they make?
Derived SI units.
Why does momentum have no designated SI unit name?
It does. Momentum=mass* velocity. Momentum is kilogram meters per second
