Define momentum. write it's SI and CGS units?
Answers
Answer:
Momentum is the quantity of motion acquired by the body
In Newtonian mechanics, linear momentum, translational momentum, or simply momentum is the product of the mass and velocity of an object. It is a vector quantity, possessing a magnitude and a direction.
Or
Momentum is the quantity of motion of a moving body, measured as a product of its mass and velocity.
SI unit of momentum = The SI unit for momentum is kg · m/s. Newton's second law of motion in terms of momentum states that the net external force equals the change in momentum of a system divided by the time over which it changes.
CGS unit of momentum = In cgs units, if the mass is in grams and the velocity in centimeters per second, then the momentum is in gram centimeters per second (g⋅cm/s).
