Question

b) Define linear momentum and state its S.I and C. G. S units.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Force=(change in momentum)/(time interval) then, change in momentum = Force * (time interval). Therefore, the unit for momentum can be Newton-second (Ns). In the cgs system, if the mass is in grams and the velocity in centimetres per second, then the unit of momentum will be gram-centimetres per second (g⋅cm/s).
