Best Answer

The formula for momentum is (mass)*(velocity), so the SI units would be

kg m sec-1 or kg-m/sec

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 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.

Are momentum and impulse measured in the same units?

Yes. You can think of an impulse as of a transfer of momentum.


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 is the momentum of two coupled toy cars that both have a mass of 0.04?

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.


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.


Different standard units of force and momentum and impulse?

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.


What units are used to measure momentum?
