To determine

The correct unit for linear momentum.

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark

Answer to Problem 1MCQ

Option (b).

Explanation of Solution

Write the expression for linear momentum

    p=mv

Here, p is the linear momentum, m is the mass and v is the velocity.

The SI unit of mass is kg and that of velocity is m/s.

Conclusion:

The SI unit of linear momentum is kg·m/s. Thus, option (b) is correct.

N/m is the unit of acceleration. Thus, option (a) is incorrect.

N/s doesn’t have the same dimension as kg·m/s. Thus, option (c) is incorrect.

All options aren’t correct. Thus, option (d) is incorrect.
