Answer 2

Answer:

$10^{5}:1$

Explanation:

Since we know that the momentum is the total quantity of the total motion contained in the body.

$P=mv$

Since in S.I unit mass is measured in Kg and velocity is measured in m/s.

So the S.I unit of P is Kgm/s.

In CGS unit mass is measured in g and velocity is measured in cm/s.

Ratio of SI unit to CGS unit of momentum =$\dfrac{kgm/s}{gcm/s}$

Since we know that

1 kg=1000 g,1 m=100 cm.

Ratio of SI unit to CGS unit of momentum =$\dfrac{1000g\times 100cm/s }{gcm/s}$

Ratio of SI unit to CGS unit of momentum=$10^{5}:1$
