Momentum and Collisions - Mission MC1 Detailed Help

Which one of the following units represent the standard metric unit of momentum?


 
The momentum (p) of an object can be calculated from knowledge of its mass (m) and velocity (v) using the formula: 
 
p = m • v


 
The standard metric units of a quantity can be understood by thinking about its formula. Momentum is the product of mass and velocity (see Formula Frenzy section). So the units on momentum are units of mass multiplied by units of velocity. The standard metric unit of mass is the kilogram. The standard metric unit of velocity is meters/second. So the standard metric unit of momentum is kilograms • meters/second.
