Question

why isn't momentum a fundamental quantity? Could u please explain with some intuition ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Momentum as a conserved measure of motion

With the approach we've adopted so far, there seems nothing very fundamental about the quantity – it just so happens that mass × velocity is a useful measure of motion – one that you can change by the accumulated action of a force acting on the object over time.

Answer 2

Answer:

Momentum, or linear momentum is a derived quantity and not a funadamental unit.

Explanation:

If momentum is = p

Mass of a body is = m

Velocity of the body is = v

Then p= mv

Therefore the SI unit of momentum is kg ms^-1
