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 is the angular momentum of a photon?

The "intrinsic angular momentum" of particles is commonly called "spin". The spin of a photon is 1, in the units commonly used.


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.


Are momentum and impulse measured in the same units?

No, momentum is measured in units of kilograms times meters per second (kgm/s), while impulse is measured in units of Newton seconds (Ns). Momentum is a measure of an object's motion, while impulse is a measure of the change in momentum experienced by an object.


What is momentum and write CGS and MKS units of momentum?

Momentum is a measure of an object's motion and is calculated as the product of an object's mass and its velocity. In CGS units, momentum is measured in g cm/s, while in MKS units, momentum is measured in kg m/s.


Is momentum the same as force yes or no?

It is not, and it doesn't even have the same units. Momentum has the units of force x time (or equivalently, mass x velocity).


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 does not have the same units as the others Kinetic Energy Momentum Potential Energy or Work?

Momentum does not have the same units as the others. Kinetic energy is measured in joules, potential energy in joules, work in joules, but momentum is measured in kilogram meters per second (kg m/s).


What is momentam?

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 a example of a momentum of zero?

An object at rest. Actually that's the only possible example for a single object. For two objects, you can have objects moving in opposite directions; for example, one may have a momentum of +100 units, and the other, a momentum of -100 units.


The base units of measure that make momentum include what?

meters and seconds
