cgs means centimeter,gram,second. cgs unit of velocity is cm/s.
Kinetic energy= mv2 /2 Units for mass in CGS-gm Units for Velocity in CGS-cm/sec Therefore Unit of KE in CGS=gm(cm/sec)2 = ergs
It seems there have been different "CGS" units, and the definition of units, specifically in the electrical area, varies between them. You would first have to decide WHICH cgs system you want to work with.
cm/s
kg m s-1 in MKS gcms-1 in CGS
(CGS units) 1.0000 g/cm3 = 1000.0 kg/m3 (SI units) at 4oC temperature
Actually it isn't. cgs units are sort of obsolete; nowadays, the scientific community uses SI units.
the mks unit is kg/m cube and the cgs unit is g/cm cube

CGS units are the standard for the metric system; Centimetres, Grams, Seconds

The centimetre-gram-second system (abbreviated CGS or cgs) is a metric system of physical units based on centimetre as the unit of length, gram as a unit of mass, and second as a unit of time. All CGS mechanical units are unambiguously derived from these three base units, but there are several different ways of extending the CGS system to cover electromagnetism.CGS approach to electromagnetic units The conversion factors relating electromagnetic units in the CGS and SI systems are much more involved - so much so that formulas for physical laws of electromagnetism are adjusted depending on what system of units one uses. refer to link below for methods
