It is expressed in whichever system you use for mass. Most people use Metric and some use English. English would be the ounce and Metric would be the gram.
The SI unit of momentum (P) is Newtown*second (N*s) and also kilograms* meters per second (kg*m/s). P equals mass (in kilograms) multiplied by velocity (in meters per second).

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 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.


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 the relationship between force and momentum, and how can it be expressed mathematically with the statement that force is the integral of momentum?

The relationship between force and momentum is that force is the rate of change of momentum. Mathematically, this relationship can be expressed as the integral of momentum with respect to time equals force. This means that the total change in momentum over a period of time is equal to the force applied during that time.


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 Units of particle motions?

"Motion" can be expressed in units of speed. Or it might refer to momentum - in which case you would use any unit of mass x velocity.

M omentum is expressed in units of?

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.


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.


What is equal to a impulse of 20 units?

An impulse of 20 units is equal to the change in momentum of an object, which can be expressed using the formula ( \text{Impulse} = \Delta p = F \Delta t ), where ( F ) is the force applied and ( \Delta t ) is the time duration of the force. Thus, if an impulse of 20 units is applied, it indicates that the change in momentum of the object is also 20 units. This can be achieved through various combinations of force and time.


What is equal to an impulse of 30 units?

An impulse of 30 units is equal to the change in momentum of an object, which can be expressed as the product of the force applied and the time duration over which it is applied. Mathematically, impulse (J) is defined as J = F * Δt, where F is the average force and Δt is the time interval. Therefore, if the impulse is 30 units, it indicates that the product of the average force and the time duration equals 30. Additionally, it can also represent the change in momentum of an object, meaning its momentum has increased or decreased by 30 units.
