Question

What is the SI unit of linear momentum?

Answer 1

Linear momentum:

Linear momentum is the product of the mass of an object, $\mathrm{m}$, and its velocity, $\mathrm{v}$. Momentum is expressed by ‘$\mathrm{p}$’.

The linear momentum formula is given by,

$\mathrm{P}=\mathrm{m}\mathrm{v}$

Where,

$\mathrm{m}$ = mass

$\mathrm{v}$ = velocity

Unit of linear momentum:

The SI unit of linear momentum is $\mathrm{kg}\mathrm{m}/\mathrm{s}.$
