PHY 101 Physical Quantities And Units Objective Question

Question

Which of the following units is equivalent to kg·m/s?
Options
A J/s
B N/s
C Ns
Correct Answer
D N·ms
Correct Answer

Option C is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

kg·m/s is the unit of momentum (p = mv). Ns (newton-second) is impulse, which equals change in momentum, so it has the same dimensions: [F][T] = MLT⁻² * T = MLT⁻¹.

Hint

Recall that impulse = force × time, and has the same unit as momentum.
