The formula for momentum is (mass)*(velocity), so the SI units would be
kg m sec-1 or kg-m/sec
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.
Yes. You can think of an impulse as of a transfer of momentum.
If they are coupled together and have the same velocity v, then the momentum is 0.08v, with units that depend on what units your mass has.
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 units for impulse are kg.m/s. This is because impulse= (final momentum) -(initial momentum) and the units for momentum are kg.m/s.

momentum
Yes. You can think of an impulse as of a transfer of momentum.
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).
If they are coupled together and have the same velocity v, then the momentum is 0.08v, with units that depend on what units your mass has.

Force = mass x acceleration = kg(m/s^2) or N Momentum = mass x change in velocity = kg(m/s) or Ns The units of impulse are the same as momentum's because impulse is just the change in momentum.
kg*m/s
Momentum is mass * velocity. Its units, in the SI system are kilogram metre per second
