what is momentum? write the units of this amount in SL and CGS systems
Answers
Answer:
In SI units, if the mass is in kilograms and the velocity is in meters per second then the momentum is in kilogram meters per second (kg⋅m/s). 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).

Question:
What is momentum? write the units of this amount in SL and CGS systems.
Answer:
Momentum:
It is the quality of motion which has ability to keep increase the force to move faster. Momentum is the variable of mass and velocity.
p=mv
Where, p= Momentum.
m= Mass.
v= Velocity.
Mass is measured in kg and velocity in ms-1, therefore, the SI unit of momentum will be kgm/s(-¹).
In the CGS system, the mass is in grams and the velocity in centimeters per second, therefore the unit of momentum will be gram-centimeters per second (g⋅cm/s).
