What is the mathematical formula and $SI$ unit of momentum?
(N/A) Momentum $(p)$ is defined as the product of mass $(m)$ and velocity $(v)$.
The mathematical formula is: $p = m \times v$.
The $SI$ unit of mass is kilogram $(kg)$ and the $SI$ unit of velocity is metre per second $(m/s)$.
Therefore,the $SI$ unit of momentum is kilogram metre per second,denoted as $kg \cdot m/s$ or $kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-1}$.
