Question

What is the unit of acceleration and momentum?

Answer 1

Determine the unit of acceleration and momentum.

• Acceleration is defined as the rate at which velocity changes with time. It can also be characterized as a velocity increase per second. $\frac{m}{s^2}$ is the SI unit of acceleration.
• Linear momentum is computed as the total of a system's mass and velocity: $p=mv$.
• The SI unit for momentum is a kilograms meter per second $kg·\frac{m}{s}$.
• Momentum is classified into two types: linear and angular. An item spinning possesses angular momentum, whereas an object moving with velocity has linear momentum.
• An overall change in velocity in the given interval divided by the total time needed for the change yields the average acceleration over time.

Hence, the S.I. unit of acceleration is meter per second square that is$"\frac{m}{s^2}"$, and momentum is kilogram meter per second that is $"kg·\frac{m}{s}"$.
