It is expressed in whichever system you use for mass. Most people use Metric and some use English. English would be the ounce and Metric would be the gram.
The SI unit of momentum (P) is Newtown*second (N*s) and also kilograms* meters per second (kg*m/s). P equals mass (in kilograms) multiplied by velocity (in meters per second).

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 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.
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
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.
How is momentum expressed in imperial or English units?
slug-feet/second
What are Units of particle motions?
"Motion" can be expressed in units of speed. Or it might refer to momentum - in which case you would use any unit of mass x velocity.

Directions are expressed as units of?
Directions are expressed as units of
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.
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 is expressed in square units?
The surface area of a shape is expressed in square units.
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 three units of measurment?
Here are some international units of measurement:Mass is expressed in kilograms.Length and distance is expressed in meters.Time is expressed in seconds.Electrical current is expressed in amperes.Speed is expressed in meters/second.
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.
If you increase the velocity of an object the momentum of that object will?
The momentum is expressed as: p = mv, so assuming the velocity increases, the momentum of the body will increase too.
