Question

Define the momentum of an object. Write SI unit of momentum.

Answer 1

Momentum

1. Momentum can be defined as the product of the mass and velocity of an object.
2. Formula for momentum is given by:$p=mv$.
3. It is a vector quantity.

SI Unit of momentum

1. Momentum is given by $p=mv$.
2. SI unit: $p=kgm{s}^{-1}.$

Hence, momentum is the product of mass and velocity and the SI unit is kgms^-1.
