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.
What else can I help you with?
What is the SI units torque and angular momentum?
The SI unit for torque is the newton-meter (N-m). The SI unit for angular momentum is kilogram square meter per second (kg.m^2/s).
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.
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
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?
You must convert the mass from pounds to kilograms, time from seconds to seconds, and distance from feet to meters. Only then can you use the formula for momentum (momentum = mass * velocity) to calculate momentum in SI units (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 SI units torque and angular momentum?
The SI unit for torque is the newton-meter (N-m). The SI unit for angular momentum is kilogram square meter per second (kg.m^2/s).

Why does momentum have no designated SI unit name?
Momentum is a vector quantity, calculated as the product of an object's mass and velocity. Its SI unit is kilogram meters per second (kg m/s), which represents the combination of mass (kg) and velocity (m/s) in defining momentum. Momentum does not have a separate designated unit name because it is derived from fundamental SI units.
What is the dimension of angular momentum?
Angular momentum is a vector quantity and therefore has dimensions of mass multiplied by length squared divided by time. In SI units, the dimension of angular momentum is kg * m^2/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 divide momentum by speed what units?
Dimensionally, force divided by speed is [MLT-2] / [LT-1] = [MT-1].In SI units, it's (newton) / (meter per second) = Kilogram per second.That unit doesn't seem to have much physical significance, or to be too useful,unless maybe you're planning a career in residential coal delivery.
What is si base unit for momentum?
The SI unit of Momentum is kilogram meters per second --> (kg*m)/s
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.
