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.

What is the ratio of CGS unit to SI unit of energy?

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.


What is the cgs unit of current electricity?

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.


Why is it convienient to express the density or the specific gravity in cgs units?

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.
