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
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.
The cgs unit of displacement is the centimeter (cm). It represents a distance along a straight line in the cgs (centimeter-gram-second) system of units.
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.
In cgs units, the density of water is approximately 1 gram per cubic centimeter.

The ratio of CGS unit to SI unit of energy is 1 CGS unit to 10^7 SI units. This means that 1 erg in CGS units is equivalent to 10^-7 joules in SI units when measuring energy.

Actually it isn't. cgs units are sort of obsolete; nowadays, the scientific community uses SI units.
In cgs units, the density of water is approximately 1 gram per cubic centimeter.
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.
The value of gravity in CGS units is approximately 980 cm/s^2.
CGS units are the standard for the metric system; Centimetres, Grams, Seconds
the mks unit is kg/m cube and the cgs unit is g/cm cube
