Dimensions of momentum

Physics

ScanSolve AI Answer

Momentum (pp) is defined as the product of an object's mass (mm) and its velocity (vv).

p=m×vp = m \times v

Mass has dimensions of [M][M] (mass).
Velocity has dimensions of [L][T]−1[L][T]^{-1} (length per unit time).
Therefore, the dimensions of momentum are:

[p]=[m]×[v]=[M]×[L][T]−1=[M][L][T]−1[p] = [m] \times [v] = [M] \times [L][T]^{-1} = [M][L][T]^{-1}

The dimensions of momentum are [M][L][T]−1[M][L][T]^{-1}.
